ACADuser Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 In the catalog, I found a Garage door I want to use but it doesn't work on the double-wide garage door. How does one deal with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACADuser Posted March 15, 2018 Author Share Posted March 15, 2018 That's correct. The big door does not look good stretched. The front looks better if you see 3 layouts one is actually one door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACADuser Posted March 15, 2018 Author Share Posted March 15, 2018 Thanks Eric, Michael was kind enough to show me how to do just that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACADuser Posted March 15, 2018 Author Share Posted March 15, 2018 I wrote the instructions down as not to forget: Make a Double Garage Door Procedure If you need a double wide for the wider garage door: open a new blank PLAN draw a wall & insert the door you want Remove the casings & threshold In A 3D overview Use the Delete Surface Tool to remove all the wall layers Nothing but the door showing use Tools/Symbols/convert to symbol then Add to the library using default settings Back to plan, delete the wall, then insert the new symbol from the library copy & paste to get 2 of them. move side by side. Go to 3D overview and Convert to a symbol, this time save as DOOR & rename Delete the first single door symbol from the library You are good to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Is there any reason why you can't just mull two doors together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACADuser Posted March 15, 2018 Author Share Posted March 15, 2018 Just tried it. Could not get rid of the 1" divider in plan view nor the dashed line showing the plan view door opening area. When mulled the door look good in elevation views. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for Posting that.... you could also export the Door from the Library and Add it to your Post for Others perhaps.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See attached Garage Door Double.calibz Railing Flat Horrz.calibz Thanks always happy to have another Symbol , I have been messing with the Delete Surface Tool since Michael Posted the Tip over in the Tips Forum , it was how I cleaned up the really old NanaWall Library by DMDz and made a few extra Panels ( in the Symbols Forum already) DMDz NanaWalls Updated MHD.calibz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylejmarsh Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 I used to be able to just mull them up and it would get rid of that center piece of trim - however it seems like that doesn't work anymore on X16. The real question is why cant' we specify horizontal panels the way we can specify vertical panels? This would solve the issue immediately. I have provided a graphic for the chiefs at chief to study and implement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
