Entrance door with 4-Lites at the Top

[Anonymous]

Hello All,

I am looking for a Basic Entrance Door (like D1 Entrance in AC9) with 4- Lites at the Top. The AC9 Library Door only has one with 2-Lites. I know that I can make a Custom Panel, which I have done with garage doors, but I was looking for a quicker way out.

I doubt you will find a method quicker than making a custom panel. You could find a lot that are slower and more expensive, if you want...

D3 Smartparts Doors & Windows library has one but it would be a lot cheaper to make one up if this is all you need it for.

As always I can be talked into spend a little time and not much money. (Does time = Money???)

Well, I measured-up My existing Residence Door (a 4-Lite) and "built" it as a custom panel. While I was at it I created a 3-Lite version.

Attached is a JPG. Next message to contain a zip file with the two door panels. Enjoy.

Module to be saved as GSMs.

I can not seem to be able to figure out how to assign a Custom Panel to the AC10 windows and doors.

Thanks for the Link.
That was it. The Save Custom Component.

The custom components save as a gsm, so if you save them in an office "Custom Panels" folder as I do name them differently than the panels that work in AC9 as library parts.

I just checked in AC9 to see if the gsm "Custom Components" saved in AC10 are recognized in AC9. While you can type them into the Custom apnel field in the door properties, they do not display in 3D & Section. "Library part not converted Properly (GLS)
