Extracting Door Panel size for schedule NOT rough opening

Eric Gedney
Participant
I have been unable to find a variable where it gives the WxH of the door panel in the schedule not the rough opening. I would like to model the door with the frame, but have door panel size come up in the schedule. My work-around is to model the door with no frame. It seems like a sophisticated program like AC should be able to do this. Am I missing something?

I am using Door Builder 3.5 from Cadimage, but I think it is the same situation with the standard ArchiCAD doors.

Actually, no they're not. The A and B parameters of the AC doors are the size of the door panel -- the A and B parameters in the DWB part are the rough opening. If I remember correctly, the inability to get these doors to schedule correctly is why we don't use the DWB doors.

Thanks, I guess I missed that. I still like DWB3.5 better for the simple reason that the operation of the door or window is a variable within a single object. I know the eyedropper and syringe thing has made transferring parameters easier, but still...
