Storefront/Wd Entrance Door

[Anonymous]

1) (D1 Storefront 3 10)-I like the storefront library object and its parametric controls which allow for lots of variation in design. My only wish regarding this object is it does not allow for adding more than one sidelight on either side of the door.

Can anyone recommend a third party software that allows the user to add multiple sidelights to either side of the door? I looked at the Objects Online site but could not tell if anyone of them have this capability. The other question is if the third pasty door object will be recorded in the door schedule alond with native door objects in AC10.

b) (D1 Entrance Side1 10)- Is there another way to plug in a width value for the sidelight? I could not find one.

Check Cadimage's Window/Door builder

Thanks I will look into it. I assume you have this software and it does have the features I described which are lacking in the two AC10 door objects.

Maybe I spoke too soon. I just messed with the Cadimage door.... and I couldn't get a 2nd sidelight ..... (same for the D1 Storefront) maybe someone with more Cadimage savvy can say.

Yes

See attached.

I don't think Door/Window builder is perfect.... but I use it on almost every project.

Thanks for testing it our Marc. I have to look into some of the add ons carried by Objects Online.

For multiple sidelights with a DWB door, actually use a window with the desired number of panels, make one of the panels a door.

Exactly. I just discovered this on a project. Generally, D/W Builder can do anything I need but the difficulty is scheduling the result. In this case you will end up with a door that schedules as a window.

I did try inserting a door on W Ribbon 10 window object on plan but did not work for me. In the past I have placed a door next to the window overlapping the jambs.
