Modeling Doors

Doors are modeled on the XZ plane as assemblies, the origins of which are in the lower left corner in the middle of the frame. Doors can be created in two different ways:

• Use variable door models. Variable models are slower to handle in the Vertex BD application.
• Create individual models for each door size. Non-variable models are quicker to handle in the Vertex BD application.

You should use basic functions such as basic extrusions and simple functions when modeling. Try to avoid roundings and external references.

In both of these methods, the line widths must be 0.13, and the lines must be located on layer 27 with the exception of the line going around the outer edge of the frame, which is added on layer 101. The surface area of the balcony door glass panels will be included in the room's window area if the balcony door glass panel lines are on layer 30.

The naming practice and material categories of the surfaces are the same, regardless of the modeling method.
