Pocket Door with Transom

KDEE
Participant

We use interior swing doors with transom a lot in our office and occasionally need an interior pocket door with a transom object. It seems like Archicad does not have this option? Is there a way I can add this perimeter into the pocket door object? We have been just placing the int. pocket door without and then adding a separate transom window object above but would prefer if this was all just one object.

Open the relevant door object and toggle gs_door_transom, then save it to your desired library with a new name. As far as I know, this can be done with all of the default GS doors.

Thank you for this is it helpful. When I went into the object master I did not see what you have sent an image of. I then went into the parameters tab and tried to turn on the transom option in there and it would not let me click it. Any ideas what I might be missing?

Given the display units, do you happen to use the US library? That might be the cause for the difference. Please add a signature to your profile with the relevant information as stated on the link in mine. So what is in the Master script?

Yeah... US library things... Might you be able to make do with downloading the INT door from BIM Components? This can be done through the door tools search bar. "Pocket Door [version]"
