Custom Garage Door

[krrbnsn]

I'm using CA 16 and trying to figure out how to adjust this door. I have pictured the Clopay door that I downloaded from the CA library as well as the Clopay door I copied from their brochure. My garage door is 16' x 9' so according to the brochure it should have 8 windows/raised panels but I can't get the CA door to match. Am I missing something simple or do I have to create a custom door?

You could try making it a hinged door instead of a garage door which should then double the panels. This has a bunch of other side effects though. 

 

The other thing you could do is make your own door symbol with twice as many panels.

The "Short Panel - Square Grille" stretches to fit the door size.  You want the 8' wide look times 2.  Unfortunatley Chief doesn't have a Horizontal Panel multiplier like it does for Vertical Panels on the Options DBX.

 

To work around this, Make your door 8' wide to one side.  Copy & paste to the side a second 8x9 with no gap between them. (red 2)  

Then mull the unit together to act as one 16090MU. (red 3)

 

This will give you the look you want. But there is no control over the handles with this symbol.

To work around this,  Before mulling them together reverse the symbol (bottom of the General DBX)  The handles are now inside the garage, which generally doesn't matter since we don't often show interior elevations of the garage.

Clopay needs to revamp their Chief library.  

 

I hope this helps.

I run into that all the time, so I made some doors and door panels that I shared earlier. No beadboard option at this time, but there is an 8-panel option with glass.
