What is the difference between 2 doors if only reveals are different ?

kosta — Mon, 21 Feb 2022 18:29:22 GMT

Hi , I read the manual about "reveal", but still can't understand what is the difference when reveals are at opposite sides but doors are same shape and located similarly,

like on picture.

P.S sorry for placing 2 questions in short time, that one is last, thanks for help.

Hello kosta,

On closer inspection, it seems that the two doors are placed differently inside/outside but they both open on the same side.

The 'reveal' side is the side you first click on the wall to place a door window.

You will see the 'sun' symbol.

When you adjust the reveal offset, it will move the frame forwards/backwards in relation to this reveal side.

0 (zero) offset - the frame will be flush with the wall on the reveal side.

Most likely I didn't notice anything because I'm having a frame at the center of a wall thickness, so it really only affects the frame allocation ?

Yes it is basically the frame reference point.

If the frame equals the wall thickness, you will not notice any difference.

Unless you have some feature like an external brick sill or shutters - something on one side of the frame but not the other.

This reveal side will affect which side those features show on.

Ok so basically sun icon means outside, Thank you for help.

I don't want to crete new topic for that one but dont think it is something that is easy to do because once I saw similar topic, in short:

How to create custom door ? like this one below

as you can see it has a opening at right side and 2 frame divisions on the left, Can I easily edit or create any custom door layout? maybe just to rearrange existing elements and not create totally from scratch.

Now you are getting into a new topic - custom doors and windows.

Best to start a new post so as not to get lost in this one.

I can give you some info in the new post when you create it.
