Door with sidelight containing multiple opening sections

[Anonymous]

Hi there,

Im trying to get a door object that has a sidelight containing two opening sections and a fixed panel. The included archicad door object can be set so that there are 2 panes, both of which can be opened, but cannot have an additional fixed pane. am i missing something or is there a workaround?

i would like to achieve something similar as the image attached.

TIA[/img]

First, welcome to the forum, Shaun!

One way I'd recommend to approach a custom sidelight like this: create a custom panel for the sidelight. You get an option of a custom door panel and a custom sidelight panel.

Note that once you have a basic understanding of how to script a parametric object (one that retains certain dimensions when overall size changes, instead of stretching like a rubber band), you can actually script a very flexible door or custom panel, with various automatic parameters. You can then use one "smart" custom panel regardless of door or sidelight size. Example: A sidelight panel that automatically increases the amount of glass divisions once the sidelight gets bigger.
