Doors - How to customize Side Lite

[Ange822 2]

Hi there,

 

I am using Chief Architect X9

 

I can't seem to find a sidelite that is "half lite" only 3/4 lites or full lites.

I'm wondering if theirs a way to customize an object to make the glass smaller?

I have attached an image - this is the closest I could find. I tried looking on the 3D warehouse but had no luck.

(Using the Simpson Door Company - Arlington Sidelight)

 

Also - does anyone know if on the elevation view you can get rid of the door operation indicators only on the sidelites?

 

thanks in advanced.

I have solved this issue.

 

You can use a window as a sidelite - and change the size to be the width of your sidelite / height of door, sash / frame dimensions to get your desired dimension of glass.

I was wanting a half lite for a typical 83" high door. See attached images of specs.

Then I created a rectangle and made it into a 3D Molding Polyline for the bottom panel detail.

 

This also solved the operation indicators don't show.

Chief actually gave us an option to simply set a Door Type as "Fixed" back in X11.

thank you! I was speaking to a colleague who has X12 who has that option. Unfortunately I am still on X9.
