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 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 Concept: Vectorworks symbols.
For doors using object styles, the parameters that are set by style display for informational purposes but cannot be edited from the Door Settings dialog box or the Object Info palette.
Most, but not all, parameters can be edited from both the Door Settings dialog box and the Object Info palette. 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.
The door parameters are described in Door settings. Only the parameters that are different are described here.
