Why don't you post a picture of the door you'd like?

I do what Joey suggested and I've made plenty of commercial doors!

I usually use a 2" casing, 1/2" depth, 0" reveal, no sill / threshold. Change the hardware, done.

@raltd9245You know Ron, while the plan view representation isn't 100% perfect, what I'd suggest you do is set your door default before starting the plan. If it's already started, no big deal, you can still set the default and the add those settings / info to doors already in the plan.

Using the Object Information Panel you can add as much info as you want and it will all populate into the schedule. Let's take a quick look at an example using a Trudoor KD Drywall Frame.

The manufacturer has a nice list of specs on their website:

Construction

Heavy Duty; 16-Gauge Cold Rolled Steel - meets the requirements of ANSI A250.8-2014 (SDI 100)

Handing

Handed - LH/RHR, RH/LHR

Jamb Faces

2-inch Jamb and Head Faces

Stop Height

5/8” Stop Height

Rabbets

Unequal Double Rabbets Standard

Returns

1/2” Double Return

Corners

Exact Fit Die-Mitered Corner Connections

Hinge Reinforcements

7-Gauge Hinge Reinforcements

Strike Prep

4-7/8” Universal ASA Strike Preparation (Blank Strike Jambs Available)

Closer Reinforcement

Optional 14-Gauge Door Closer Reinforcement

Silencer Preparation

9/32” Silencer Preparation

Pair Head Preps

Flush Bolt Strike, Silencer Preps

Optional Preps

Blank Hinge Jamb For Continuous Hinge, Deadbolt Strike, Electric Strike, Exit Device Strike Reinforcement

Anchors

Screw Adjusting Compression Anchors on Jambs, Dimpled Base Anchor Holes

Fire-Rating

Optional – WHI / ITS up to 90-Minute Fire-Rating (Mylar Label) - Fire-Rated Assemblies must be in accordance with NFPA 80

Finish

Factory-Applied, Baked-On, Rust Inhibiting Primer (No Special Color Options) – Not intended to be a finish coat. It is recommended that finish paint (top coat) be applied after installation

Buy American Act Compliance

Meets Buy American Act – Made in USA

Mfg. Hinge/Lock Locations

Steelcraft Locations Standard (Ceco, Curries, and Custom Locations Available)

 

Any or all of this information can be replicated into the OIP so it is added to you schedule. All you need to do is decide what information you want in your door schedule and then it becomes a bit simpler to build out the door default settings in Chief. Here's an example from a previous project of mine just as a point of reference.
