Need help on Custom Door with Sidelights

[Nc2rnL]

I've been struggling how will this be possible? Does anyone know how to create door like this with sidelight? Is it possible to use at as a whole door leaf but with indication of sidelight? Thanks!

Operating system used: Windows 11

Hi,

I would model the door leaf and import it as custom. Example vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTObsDhHTic

And the sidelight make it as a separate entity (object or so) and place it in a wallhole opening.

A quick search/ testing didn't show a way to make custom sidelights (especially like that).

Hope this helps.

Hi! Thanks for the insights. Yeah, this is my concern that if there's any possibility to include the sidelight so when I create a door schedule, the door and sidelight will be considered as one. Thanks for the reply anyways!

I would create the entire frame, door and sidelights from slabs and then save that as a custom door object.

You will need to edit the 2D symbol to get the look you want in plan.

Or use the Library Part Maker where you create the 2D symbol as well.

You can edit the symbol to include the sidelight in your schedule but as far as I know this has to be done manually, unfortunately.

You can create a custom door leaf and I believe custom sidelight as well that can be used in a door with sidelights object.

But I have not know of a way of making custom curved transoms.

That is why I said it would be easier to create the entire object.

That will also schedule as one object.
