Door impossible to assign renovation status

[alessiofazzi]

I am tryng to give a door a renovation status but all the three option are greyed out. Any suggestion?

Operating system used: Windows

Renovation Status is assigned using the "Renovations Palette" not selected in "Door Settings".

Open the palette under the Window Menu.

Thank you for your answer Eduardo, I know how to assign the renovation status, i have the palette exposed, as you cansee in the pic (top - right corner) but all the options are geyed out

The door is a child of the wall, you probably need to set the wall to existing first.

To add some more detail to what @Stefan L_ wrote:

The Renovation Status of the Wall may limit what the Renovation Status of the Door/Window can be.

• If the Wall's Renovation Status is "Existing", the Renovation Status of the Door/Window placed into it can any of the 3 possible values.
• If the Wall's Renovation Status is "To be Demolished", the Reno Status of the Door/Window will be the same as that of the host Wall ("To be Demolished"). - If you demolish the Wall, the Door/Window will also be demolished.
• If the Wall's Renovation Status is "New", again, after placement, the Reno Status of the Door/Window will be the same as that of the host Wall ("New"). - You can only place a new Door/Window into a new Wall.

So, when the Wall is not Existing, Archicad will force the placed Door/Window to have the same Reno Status as the Wall, regardless of what default Reno Status was set for the Door/Window before placement.

The below image shows the 5 possible combinations.
