RobWhite Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I am attempting to draw toilet partitioning. I seems to work well expect when I raise the door 150mm (6") off the floor the to create an opening/gap below the door, the wall automatically generate wall panel under the door so there is no gap. Is there a method to retain the gap? Using CA X7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Rob, Use a Railing Wall for your toilet partitions. Put a doorway in that wall and convert it to a hinged door. When you raise the door it will not generate the panel below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 There are toilet partitions in the Core Catalog library that may help. Architectural...Fixtures...Partitions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe_Carrick Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Joe, I tried your suggestion, but here is what I come up with. What might I be doing wrong??? You need to use a "Panel" Railing Wall. Solid will not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickeyToo Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Thanks, Joe. That's perfect! Interesting video, too, Larry. Related question: It there a way to create an air gap under (regular) door? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 If you use a "Library" Door with the z origin set to .75" if will have the gap. There's no way to do it with a standard Chief Door - it has to be a Symbol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickeyToo Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Joe, you are talking to the uninitiated when it comes to symbols in Chief. So it cannot be a door from the Chief library (or from any manufacture library?), it has to be a door that was created as, or converted to a symbol. Yes? So I have a door that a user posted a little while back (can I assume it is a symbol?). And the z origin: This is the Floor to Bottom distance? So when I do this, even though Use Threshold is unchecked, I don't get a gap. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Mickey, You have to open the Symbol dbx by right clicking on the item in the Library and selecting the little chair icon. Set the Z-Origin there. After that, any door you place will be raised off the floor. While you can't do this directly in the Chief Library or a Manufacturer Library, you can copy those symbols to your user Library and make those edits there.

RobWhite Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 Just another piece on info. The wall cover in the room menu must not be used in order for wall height to be edited in elevation views. This caused a little frustration but more so a sign once i managed to work it out. Mind you before working it out I had produce a whole partition system in sketchup. Now I have both! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
