amddrafting Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I'm always curious how we get certain features like "inset door jamb" but not "inset door" I have a commercial property in an old town square that has original 20" solid brick wall and I need to swing the doors out like shown. There is 6" cavity around the door but that is it. The rest of the wall is solid. I need this door to swing out into the cavity from the inside of the wall. Any help would be appreciated.

Joe_Carrick Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Make a wall where the door is just 4" thick. IOW, a small length of wall for the door to insert into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amddrafting Posted January 24, 2023 Author Share Posted January 24, 2023 Then how do I deal with the 14' of brick wall above it in elevation view? Pony Wall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 OK, Try this. Make an opening in the brick wall (no frame, no casings) Make the 4" thick wall about 12 " inside the room and mark it "No Room Definition" Place your door in that wall. You might want to adjust the wall to the width and height of the Brick Wall Opening. Move the 4" thick wall to be flush with the inside of the Brick Wall. There are other methods but this will work fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the "No Definition" and "No locate" are great ideas thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe_Carrick Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 It's the same trick used for inserting railing in the openings in regular walls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
