Archway Door

Hi,

Please how can I insert a 2.5M archway door. And I also want to know how can I insert open doors (without any doors installed).

Thanks

Search for the folder "Openings" for the Door Tool, it has an Arch Top Door Opening and other types of openings. For the other door types, in the Door dialog box go to Door Settings and Openings > Door Leaf and select "Empty" (at the bottom of the list).

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.

Hi David and thanks for your reply.

Yes in fact that is the fist thing I did, I looked into the folder "Openings" for the Door Tool but there is no an Arch Top Door. I think because at the moment I am using a trial version. I looked in https://bimcomponents.com/GSM/Details/21706 and I think it is as the one that I am looking for. If I download a file from bimcomponents.com, where do I have to copy it?

There should be no difference in the library between using a trial version and a commercial licence...

Your screen shot is of the Favorites for that tool, which is not all the available doors. Double-click the Door Tool icon to open its settings dialog box, select the magnifying glass in the upper left corner (the search option) and type "Arch Top" to find those door types.

Thanks for adding the signature.
