Chrisb222 Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I've never been happy with the overhead doors available either in Chief's catalog or the mfrs catalogs. I always just wanted a nice handful of raised panel or recessed panel, in single width and double width that "matched," four and five panels high, plain and with a couple glass options. So I finally just sat down and made a mini-catalog of just that. The attached file should contain the following door symbols: "Double 4" contains four panels vertically, "Double 5" has five, for either 7'h or 8'h doors. These are all "short panel" style doors. I thought about making long panel versions, but I don't really like long panel doors so I don't spec them. If I make more it will be with beadboard panels. A couple sample images: Created using X15.

Chrisb222 Posted September 1, 2023 Author Share Posted September 1, 2023 @solver brought it to my attention that having the individual panels would be useful for stacking taller doors in the Door Spec dialog, or for assembling taller doors as symbols. I updated the catalog with folders containing the individual panels, and renamed the symbols and folders to make more sense (to me at least ) Overhead Doors Revised.calibz 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonySkajler Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 You have just solved quite a problem, or rather a dilemma, which was the overhead doors in the MFRS and Chief catalogues. Very interesting, interesting and useful suggestions, and I also thank you for the work you have put into it. It really is very impressive when it comes to your outlook on tilt-up doors.
