Is there a simple way for door schedule to read a pair of 2'-6" doors instead of 5'-0". I assume the height and width in the schedule is reading the opening instead of the individual panels.

I saw Karl's post and tried ganging the doors and I have two issues - a) it still separated the two doors on my schedule and did not appear as PR 2'-6"; am I missing something? and b) how do I get the ganging to NOT show framing at the center?
Thanks!

Similarly, if the user typed in PR 2'-6" in a user-defined field, it would appear in that column only for that one door - but the total width would still appear in the width column.
I've done this with custom doors for a client. The only way I can see to do it with the standard doors would be with the user defined "parameters for listing" or the door IDs. These could be set fairly quickly with the Scheduler and maintained with favorites. It's definitely asemi-automatic approach but not too bad if you don't have to train too many people to do it.
