door settings

Anonymous — Wed, 24 May 2023 08:48:55 GMT

Hello.
I have an issue regarding a door I am drawing. I would like the red dimension to be 70 cm instead of 75 cm, but I don't seem to find the setting for this. Does anybody know?
Thank you.

If the dimension in pink is 70 the dimension in red isn't going to be 70 no matter what. Look at where the two dimensions start at the wall.

Hello.
Thank you for the answer.
I do not want the two dimensions to be equal and it doesn't matter what becomes of the pink dimensions. All I want is to reduce the red dimension. Is it possible?

Increase the Frame Width value of the Door by 25 millimeters on both sides.
That will make the egress size 50 millimeters smaller and so the Leaf will be 50 millimeters smaller and your 75 centimetes will become 70.

Thank you for the answer. I did what you said and it resulted in this : see picture. But what I wish is for both the black and red dimensions to be 70. I think I want the hinge to be moved by 5 cm, right in the center of the frame.

This is basic mathematics:
They will be the same only if you set the Frame Thickness value to zero, which is not possible in real life.
So what you are asking for is impossible.

This is where I chip in and say "with Cadimage doors you can do this".

...With Cadimage doors you can set the door leaf back within the frame. (AC16 example, things have moved in AC18 )
