Door object as Knock-out in foundation stem wall

Anonymous
Not applicable
In AC9 I had a Door object favorite that I would use as a Knock-out in the Stem walls of the foundation. I have attempted to replicate the door/opening in AC10 without success. I am using the D1 10 opening from the Wood internal doors folder. Is there another way?

Attached is a view, but I am having errors in Lines 277, 287 & 297 of the 3D script.

Jay,
I just checked my D1 10 door object and it has
the version of Wall Contours that is in the object
I just uploaded. Are you sure you are using
the US version of the AC 10 library ?
Thanks,
Peter Devlin

Looking for Dashed line, but would like options as D1 10 provides. Also D1 10 is much easier to select in plan view.

Yes, the object whas the Wall Contours (0-None,1-Full,2-Side,3-Length) and it is set to 1. I want to be able to change the type as in D1 10.

Jay,
You can change the line type in the Floor Plan and Section
turn down pane. In Symbol and Outline un-check Enable objects
line types and Enable objects pens and select the line type
and pen you want.

Thank you once again Peter. You have help me simplify this door object, and learn about creating subtypes.

Last question has to do with how the Selected door displays in plan. I have added some Hotspots to the 2D symbol of the opening to allow for eaisier selection. When the D1 10 door is selected the wall countour line is "highlighted" designating that the item is selected. The Knockout opening contour line does not highlight. This is very Minor, but though I might learn something here. Thanks & Happy Easter. He has Risen!

Jay,
Sorry, I don't know why the two objects
behave differently in the way you describe.
