Managing door hardware sets

The Hardware pane of the Door Settings dialog box allows you to select items from the door hardware library to attach to door objects. The library includes information about each hardware set, which appears in the door hardware legend (see Creating door schedules). The library also includes a symbol to represent the hardware in 3D views of the door.

Use the Manage Hardware option in the Door Settings to customize the default content hardware library as needed, for yourself or for a workgroup.

Alternatively, select an existing door object, and click Settings in the Object Info palette.
