robdyck Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 When using a door schedule, specifically a separate schedule for interior and exterior doors, is there a way to tell an interior door to be an exterior door and vice versa? Example: a door between a finished garage and an entry serving that garage. Right now, it relies on the room types and the door between these two rooms shows as an exterior door, when I'd like it to be an interior door. I'll probably have to change my garage room type to an interior room type... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Yes that is the solution but if you have another door that is large enough for a vehicle you still have CO and fire issues to address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robdyck Posted June 28, 2018 Author Share Posted June 28, 2018 My description of my labelling issue doesn't tell the whole story. The mentioned entrance is an entrance from the garage only to the the exterior only. It's essentially part of the garage, just a separate room of the garage, and so only an interior door is needed. The actual make and model of door is really not that important as the client will select it at a later date. For my purposes, I don't want it in the exterior door schedule.

Joe_Carrick Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 The program determines if the wall is an exterior wall or an interior wall. Garages are strangely considered Exterior Rooms in Chief, so any Garage Wall is classified as Exterior. But any wall separating 2 Garages is considered as an Interior Wall. That's what determines if the door is exterior or interior. Basically, it's about weather exposure & fire rating - nothing else. IAE, you can specify whatever door type, style, thickness, description, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robdyck Posted June 28, 2018 Author Share Posted June 28, 2018 Perfect. Thanks to those who replied. This is a large garage with several rooms. I'll specify each room as garage type and change the names as needed. That should take care of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
