custom door panel / profiles

[Anonymous]

I have drawn out the door panel using slabs with a main plain white panel which has a spiral cut into it acting as a vision panel and a stainless steel frame around the edge. Saved it as a custom door panel but my doors won't use it. Any thoughts? Also I can't change the materials of columns or beams that use a complex profile. Any help would be much appreciated.

The door has to be scripted to use the custom panel. This usually means typing the name of the custom panel into a parameter of the door.

Also I can't change the materials of columns or beams that use a complex profile. Any help would be much appreciated.

Materials of profiled walls, columns and beams are set in the profile editor. They may be applied to each fill as a whole or each edge individually. Use the strange little "c" shaped icon at the upper right of the pet palette.

Thanks for the quick reply much appreciated. I read that in the user guide and changed the materials in both the profile editor and the actual object properties but it doesn't seem to change. Any further thoughts?
