double swinging, double leaf, asymetric 'metal' door?

hi all

does anybody know of a freeware double swinging, doubled leaf door where i can set the sizes of each leaf independently to each other? i.e i can have one smaller door leaf than the other.

i'd also like to be able to 'oversize' it in a similar manner to the standard library ones.

thanks in advance . . .

Can you use a regular double door and just call out the leaf size as 'irregular' -for example a double door, 6 feet wide with a 75% door width ( as an example).
You will find that under Parameters, Door Panel, 50% -default.
The swing in plan you would need to show w/2D line.
Is that what you need?

Ben,
correction, if you open the 8.1 library, Doors, Wood Internal, D2 Double Acting, and again under the Parameters, Right Panel/Total Panel change the default 50% to whatever size you wish.
No 2D to mess with...

doh!

i only checked the metal doors for this function! i had assumed that the 'D2 Metal' would have all the parameters available in other doors. i ought to have known better i guess!

thanks!

Happens to the best of us
...and this forum helps to remind one of some of the most obvious things one has forgotten
