Auxiliary
Opening Functions
- Position the door by selecting the location of its reference
point. You can add the same door to another position on the same
wall.
- Select Confirm.
- Do either of the following:
- Select a new wall, on which the door is to be positioned.
- Select a new door. You can select a new door with the auxiliary
function Edit parameters.
- Quit by pressing the Esc key.
When doors are added, the reference point and mirroring
information of the previous door are retained. When you add the
door to the wall, it cuts an opening into the wall and becomes part
of the wall. In the floor plan drawing, the lines of the wall
structure layers are cut by the door. If the door has glass
sections, these are transparent in the 3D model.
Note
- You can also select the function from the toolbar Building Components > Insert
Door.
- The default positioning height of the lower edge of the door is
0 in relation to the floor base height. You can use the Select Height function to
select a new positioning height. When adding a door in the model,
you can change the locking method of the cursor so that you can
select the door position at any height, see Locking the Cursor in a Model.
- You can position the door by defining the position of the
reference point in relation to a certain point, see Entering a Distance from a
Point.

Reference Point allows you to select the left or right edge or
the center of the opening as the reference point.

Flip function.

door in a drawing by using the Visibility of Interior Door
