Door Frame - removing the head?

Anonymous
Not applicable
How can I create a door that has no head frame (such as a gate) in a wall, that will be displayed in the schedule?

Applications also include a full height pivot door, flush with the ceiling.
will door and window builder help create doors like this, or is there a way to turn off/ manipulate individual frames in the standard doors/windows.

Because a lot of GDL scripts are written not to accept zero values, you typically get an error message when trying to turn the frame "off" by assigning it "0" -- to work around this, use the value ".001" -- the frame will appear to go away. I don't know about the AUS version, but there are some doors in the US library that allow you to control the head height and jamb width of a frame independently of each other.

Have a look at Dave Sanders' DMS doors -

There may be something you can use possibly. I know there is a pivoting type door, so there may be other options also.
