Door with raised sidelite windows?

[rob2218]

so....does AC17 have any? see attached.
I'm looking to have sidelights that can be "raised" vertically off the ground plain.
Does AC17 have any door objects with sidelights where you can independently raise the bottom of the sidelites to a desired height off the ground???

OH...and by the way..the (ahem) workaround right now is....."window/door/window" and the when trying to get the interior elevations to NOT show the lines that compose each part....well, my supervisor looks at me and says...."Why are you showing the windows like that?...don't you know that the casing around the entire door and 2 side raised windows is all ONE seamless casing".............YEAH!...I know that....I respond. I'm not WANTING to show the #$% object like that but I had to show "something"!!!!......

needless to say......your employer doesn't like hearing..."but can't this program I spent thousands of dollars on give me a simple door/sidelite object that I can raise the sidelites on"?????...hubboy...here we go again.

Rob the door you are after is called Door with 2 Sidelights 17 (funnily enough)
The Shape options in the user interface is where you will find how to raise the sidelight sills.
Then the Opening type and angle gives you a double hung option windows!

Don't sweat it, your thousands of dollars software has you covered!

OH yeah!.
I'll try it out tomorrow sir!
thanks....that is the one I'm looking for......

[rob2218]

OK I think I spoke too soon....
remember I'm in the U.S....perhaps the International version has that option but the version I'm looking at didn't show me any place in the "shapes" area of the dialogue box where to raise only the sills for the sidelites....(see attached)

If I had to guess I'd say it will be in the entrance doors too!
Use the search function top left of the Door Settings dialog and try search for "sidelight" I have a feeling it will be in there!

That's interesting, also frustrating, in my AC the option shows up.
Try the D1 2Sidelight 17.

Rob,
You can download that door that Kristian showed and similar ones from the BIM portal.

[rob2218]

So...it's not in the "entrance door" library either.
Erika...could you point me to where in the BIM portal this door would be found?

thanks,

[rob2218]

that's because I see from your sig you are using AC18?
I'm using AC17. they didn't seem to have that option in AC17 to make the sidelites sill different than the door sill.

frustrating indeed.
