John_B Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Another contribution to this great Commmunity! It took me 1/2 a day to create a Modern Double Entry System for a Client and so here you have it! Enjoy! Since I'm not an Expert at this I couldn't figure out how to create a fuller Symbol with door swing lines or how to add the "Door Opening Surround I used to create a door with exteior and Interior Molding like the finished product has....maybe one of you Experts can Tutor me lol! The top pic shows the door in the wall, the next pic shows the Symbol Exported and the last pic shows what I would like it to look like as a Symbol but couldn't get this view with the door swings.

Expand What you saved to the Library and Exported is actually an Architectural Block not a Symbol, ( drop into a new plan to check it) once it is a Symbol ( convert it ) you should be able to use the CAD Block you show as the Symbol's CAD Block by assigning it to the Door using Open Symbol>CAD Block Tab. ** If you convert it to a Door Symbol ( door's are parametric ) you can't control the CAD block but can still place the cad block Manually. and maybe the easiest way to handle this particular Door to get the Round/arched Hole in the Wall.

Once you place it in a new plan you need to set the height to 152" ( will pick up default 80") and set the Arch to Broken at 32" Arched Front Entry Door.calibzFetching info... ** see note in my 1st post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
