Hi everyone,
I'm working in Chief Architect X16 Premier and I'm looking for a cabinet door symbol that has two panels, where I can adjust the height of the upper and lower panels independently (not a fixed 50/50 split). Ideally, I'd like to be able to control the proportion between the two panels without having to create a custom door from scratch every time. I need to apply a Wood-Mode door style, so it’s not just a simple shaker or basic door. 

 

I thought I remembered seeing something from Renerabbitt or others that might fit this, but I haven't been able to find it yet.


If anyone has a symbol like this or suggestions, I'd really appreciate it.

 

I'm still getting the hang of posting questions here, so if I've posted in the wrong section, please be gentle — and feel free to give me a nudge in the right direction if needed.  Also, I'm not super savvy with creating doors using polylines and moldings, but I’ll definitely give that a shot once I figure out how to launch the space shuttle.


Thanks in advance!

I don't know of a way to do this.  It's pretty easy to take a 2 panel door and setup a stretch plane so that one panel is a fixed size and the other panel will vary depending on the height of the door.  I can't think of a way to design one so that you can adjust the size of upper and lower panels independently though.  Maybe @Renerabbittor @MarkMcmight have a trick (both of them are very clever at figuring out these kinds of things).

 

It really wouldn't be that hard to create a new door symbol every time you need a new one though.  You can create a door symbol plan that uses cabinets to build the door model and then it would be very quick to adjust it and generate a new door panel symbol.  This thread here has more info about how to do that:
