When a pocket door is used in a plan, and the information is populated into the door schedule, is there a way to account for the 4.5" at the top where the hardware is hidden in the wall above the door? The header height currently appears the same as all the other interior doors, and does not seem to account for this. The schedule does get the width of the pocket door opening correct (twice the width of the door panel).
Is there a reason Chief does not include this information?
Is there a way I could adjust my defaults so that this information is included on pocket doors in the future?
I have a client who is self-building, and although I explained that my plans are not an instruction manual for building (I'm an interior designer, not an architect or engineer), and my standard disclaimer says "door schedule is for planning only - refer to manufacturer specs for all installation instructions". However this client went and put the header at the height listed in the schedule and is now shocked that he has to reframe, when he bought his doors weeks after the framing began. He's wondering why "my software didn't account for that". His framers don't seem all that experienced either.
