Assigning, Creating, Editing, and Deleting Door Hardware Sets

A door hardware set can be assigned to the door, and a door operator device (such as a knob or lever) can be selected from default content to display on the 3D door.

To assign, create, edit, or delete a door hardware set:

1. From the Hardware pane of the Door Settings dialog box, select Include Hardware and click Manage Hardware.

The Door Hardware Library dialog box opens for selecting a door hardware set and door operator device.

Click to show/hide the parameters.

Parameter	Description
Title Bar	Displays the name of the current preference set (see Working with Project Preference Sets)
Door hardware set list	Lists all defined door hardware sets
Add	Creates a new hardware set
Remove	Removes the selected hardware set from the library (this action cannot be undone). When prompted, confirm the deletion action. An alert message notifies you that the door hardware set was modified; proceed to step 4.
Edit	Edits the currently selected hardware set

The Door Hardware Library.txt file is in the Vectorworks default content folder [Vectorworks]\Libraries\Defaults\Door - Hardware.

2. Select Edit or Add.

The Edit or Add Door Hardware Set dialog box opens. The Add dialog box is similar to the Edit dialog box except that all fields are blank.

Click to show/hide the parameters.

4. Click OK, and then click Done to return to the Door Settings dialog box.

The applied information appears in the door hardware legend generated (see Creating Schedules in Vectorworks Architect).
