Door Problem

Stress Co_ — Tue, 23 May 2023 15:23:10 GMT

I need a 4' closet door (a pair of 2 footers). The best door I found in the Archicad 9 Library is "D2", but anything under a 5' opening gives a 2'-6" door and another, the remainder of the opening width (in this case 1'-6"). Am I missing a setting somewhere?

The door is found in: Object Library 9> 08 Doors-Windows 9> Doors 9> Wood Plastic Doors 9 > Wood internal Doors> D2

Thanks
Marc

Go to the door properties, then door panel, panel division type, proportion, 50/50.

Marc,
There are 2 possible ways to handle this:

1.) In the Door Panel parameters change the "Panel Division type" parameter to "Proportion" and then make sure the "Right Panel/Total Panel Opening" parameter is set to 50

or do this:

2.)In the Door Panel parameters set "Main Door Panel Width" to 2'-0"

curious that they give two ways to adjust the same relationship - kinda' confusing

Dan / Tom:

I looked at that parameter about 5 times and thought it was somehow associated with the "panels" on the door panel.

Next time ... I click everywhere.

Thanks for your help.
