Door Properties

To edit door parameters in the Door Settings dialog box, click Settings from the Object Info palette, double-click the door to open the Door Settings dialog box, or right-click (Windows) or Ctrl-click (Mac) on a door and select Edit from the context menu.

When multiple door objects are selected for editing, and if the parameter settings of the selected objects are different, parameters display in an “indeterminate state.” Any values changed through the dialog box are changed for all the selected objects.

Door objects can also be edited from the Object Info palette. If the door has been inserted as a plug-in object, most settings from the Door Settings dialog box display. If the door is a black symbol made from a door object, fields pertaining to door geometry do not display. See Symbol Types.

For the Vectorworks Design Series products, most, but not all, parameters can be edited from both the Door Settings dialog box and the Object Info palette for ease of access. The fields in the Object Info palette are named similarly (but not always identically) to those in the Door Settings dialog box, and roughly reflect the order in which settings are entered in the dialog box, for ease of editing. Curtain wall doors have limited parameter options.

For the Vectorworks Fundamentals product, certain frequently used parameters are available to be edited directly from the Object Info palette, and do not necessarily reflect the order in which settings are entered in the dialog box. All other parameters are edited only from the Door Settings dialog box.

The door parameters are described in Inserting Doors in Vectorworks Fundamentals and Inserting Doors in Vectorworks Design Series. Only the parameters that are different are described here.
