Problem with rough openings

[Ed_Orum]

I am trying to get the correct RO for an Andersen 6068 Patio Door.

The actual door unit is 71-1/4" Wide.  The Rough opening should be 72" wide.

The actual door unit i 79-1/2" High.  The Rough opening should be 80" high.

But, in the Rough Opening Dialog box, the Rough opening width defaults to 72-3/4" Wide X 80-1/4" Tall.
There is a message saying the specified additional width and additional Height  are smaller than the minimums, the minimums will be used.

So,

What are the "minimums" and how can I over ride them so the rough openings show correctly in the Window Schedule?
Screenshot attached.

Thanks in advance,

Lane

Chief calculates the minimum RO by adding the door size + jamb. If this total. is greater than the mfr RO spec, it bumps RO up to that total. It's a workaround, but you can turn off door jambs to control your RO based on mfr specs. Or reduce the door size by the amount of the jamb thickness, which throws off other stuff...

 

If your door size + jamb is less than the specified RO, it's not a problem. But this should be fixed by allowing us to specify a door nominal size, and an actual door measurement. Or allowing us to override the minimum.

 

I know, it's a Chief Thang™

That's it!

I'm sure I would have figured that out given enough time, maybe another ten or so years.

Thanks so much!

Please keep watch for my next Chief Dilemma.

Andersen Patio Doors (in fact most prefab patios) are integral units and would not need an extra jamb.  So if you simply uncheck "Has Jamb" there shouldn't be a problem with the RO.

Instead of turning off the jamb or fudging your door size/RO, why don't you just change the door from "door size excludes jamb" to "door size includes jamb"?

 

When you have a glass patio door, the jamb is going to be part of the door unit that you buy so you don't need to worry about the size of the jamb.  By changing this setting, you are basically telling the program to treat it more like a window unit.

I changed it to "door size includes jamb", that works and that works in 3D too, because if I uncheck "has jamb" there is no jamb in 3D.

Thanks for the feedback

I did that and it works for the RO, but in 3D, there is no jamb.  

But the "door width includes jamb" worked in both RO and 3D

Thanks for the feed back.
