To insert a door:
Click the tool and the appropriate insertion and alignment modes.
Doors can be inserted into the drawing in the standard way or inserted into the wall with an offset; to use offset insertion, see Offset symbol insertion mode.
Alternatively, if placing a curtain wall door into a curtain wall, select a panel with the Edit Wall tool, and then right-click on the panel and select Insert Door from the context menu. The door is automatically inserted as a curtain wall door.
Do one of the following:
Click Door Style on the Tool bar to select a resource from the Resource Selector.
Individual manufacturer catalog items cannot be selected using the Resource Manager; see Concept: Plug-in object styles and catalog items.
Click Preferences to open the Door Preferences dialog box and specify the tool’s default parameters; see Door settings.
The parameters can be edited later from the Object Info palette.
Click to set the insertion point of the door. For doors in a wall, a door preview displays with handing indicators to set the door's orientation in the wall, and indicating the door's interior side for reference. See Interactive handing of doors for more information about the visual handing cues. If a door is inserted outside a wall, the orientation previews, but the handing indicators do not display.
Move the cursor to insert the door with the needed orientation, and click again to place the door. The handing-related parameters are set to match the door as drawn.
The orientation of a door inserted in a wall can be changed later with the Selection tool.
Several features of the door, including trim, some jamb and threshold settings, and so on, are described as "interior" or "exterior." These elements are located based on the Interior Side setting on the door's General pane.
Optionally, create a style resource from an unstyled object (see Custom plug-in object styles with catalog options).
