A person in our office is trying to place a Hollow Metal door frame in a Masonry wall. This condition usually requires a 7'-0" door, with 2" frame at the sides and a 4" frame at the top to match up with the masonry coursing at 7'-4".
I have not been able to find a door that allows different frame widths at side and head anywhere in the Archicad library or in the SmartParts library.
Has anyone else seen such a thing? Or am I going to have to code this myself?
Thanks!

Tom,
Try the commercial doors (D1 Commercial Door.gsm, D2 Commercial Door.gsm) from the AC9 US Library. Their default frame width is 2" at the sides and 4" at the top.

Tom:
You don't say what version of SmartParts you're using, but I just checked my V9 Real Doors & Windows and a standard swinging door can have different head & jamb thicknesses both in the frame and the trim. Do you have an old version?

I can confirm that it is in the 9.0 Library. I had been telling GS about this for a long time. I just had to comment that I'm glad. It's one of those good little things in 9 that are really important.
