Cadwork22 Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Is it possible to put insulation in a garage door? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneDavis Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 How about those millions of foam-filled steel entry doors? Don't we need those auto/detailed with insulation? AFIK, insulated garage doors are built using rigid foam board. What is your preferred CAD pattern for that material? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cadwork22 Posted June 10 Author Share Posted June 10 Is this done in the material tab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneDavis Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 It's done by you typing the word "insulated" in the comment section of the object information tab of the door's specification dialog. Same as you might want to do for those hinged doors that are foam-filled. The material spec is for assigning color and texture to the faces of doors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBCooper Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Quote Is it possible to put insulation in a garage door? Yes, but I would buy it from the manufacturer that way. Adding insulation to an uninsulated door is usually not worth the trouble. You could drill holes in it and use some kind of spray foam but it might be hard to fill it completely without causing it to bulge. So it really all depends on how you want to show it in your plans. You can just add a note as Gene is suggesting and that is probably the easiest way. If you want to show it in a cross section, you could manually add insulation using the cad tools but I don't think there is any easy way to show this automatically.

tundra_dweller Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Yeah I'd just notate it on the schedule and if someone really needs to see it I'd throw a detail like this on the plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
