Copy and Edit Existing Door

[LotzCC]

I can't find the door I want in any of the catalogs, but see one that is close. Is it possible to make a copy of a door and then modify and save it to my user catalog?

@LotzCCNo not really.  Good news is doors are pretty easy to make.  Draw them with slabs, etc, in plan view and convert to a door symbol.

See attached screenshot of the garage doors in my model and a photo of the existing garage doors and my CA file. I used the modern steel door with windows but don't see a way to mirror the door like other objects. I want the windThompson 1.1.planows to the outside on both right and left doors. Also want to modify the size of the windows. Also want to add windows to top of the center door.

Convert to symbol - then show advance options then reflect geometry then use replace from user lib.

William has the solution to reverse the one in the Library.  If you want one that isn't in the library start with this.  Edit to your desired variant.  Go to 3D view and:

 

Use tools, symbol, convert to symbol

Check advanced

Symbol category is door

Rotate 90 in the X

Set smoothing to 1

Name symbol

Options select garage

Add stretch planes in X

 

Pull door panel from the library and test it.

Mirror and repeat.

For the big door create the whole door and after placing set no of panels to 1.

Sounds like you know what to do. But just a couple more minutes of your time with more detailed instructions would help the people coming behind you know what you are talking about.
