Commercial Door / Metal Door

Jere
Expert
I asked this in another thread but didn't receive a response, so I figure I'll ask it here in the proper forum.

Is there any difference between the Commercial Door and the Metal Door library parts in AC11?

Is there a way to get a mullion in between the double doors?

Laura,

I am completely new to Archicad (less than a month).
I would like to change the 1 1/2" parameter to the variable, and the bottom to fixed. Standard hollow metal frames come with 1 9/16" on one side and 1 15/16" on the other, and the middle takes up the rest.

Is there a way to do that?

Thanks,
We have a 2D Object that we use for detailing that does that. I don't believe there's a way to edit the Door Object to reflect the hollow metal standard, but that degree of accuracy is usually not too important at that scale.
