The properties depend on the the door library and the door type. The most common properties in the standard door library included in the basic software delivery are presented below.
When you change a property, click the Preview button to refresh the preview image.
Dimensions
Width (W) x height (H) as module multiples. If you change the dimensions, the fields Label and Code are updated automatically.
Label
The label added to the 2D drawing.
Code
The code consists of the type and size.
Angle
The door's opening angle in the model.
Angle 2D
The door's opening angle in the floor plan.
View Direction on Opening Sheet
When the opening sheets are created, all the openings of the same type (windows, exterior doors, interior doors) are viewed from the same direction by default. You can use this property to define a viewing direction other than default for a single window or door. Select either of the following:
Ext - The opening is viewed from the outside on the opening sheet.
Int - The opening is viewed from the inside on the opening sheet.
You can define a default value for each opening by editing the component library. Add the parameter VIEW_SIDE for an opening, and type either of the following values for the parameter:
VIEW_SIDE=E - The radio button Ext is selected by default.
VIEW_SIDE=I - The radio button Int is selected by default.
Editing the component libraries is the
system administrator’s task.
Width
Sum dimension = Frame dimension + Tolerance.
By default, Frame dimension = Width dimension - Module offset. The width dimension is defined as module multiples on the Base Data page. If necessary, enter the desired value as millimeters in the field.
The default tolerance is defined in the basic parameters of the project. If necessary, enter the desired value as millimeters in the field.
Height
Sum dimension = Frame dimension + Tolerance.
By default, Frame dimension = Height dimension - Module offset. The height dimension is defined as module multiples on the Base Data page. If necessary, enter the desired value as millimeters in the field.
The default tolerance is defined in the basic parameters of the project. If necessary, enter the desired value as millimeters in the field.
Frame
The frame width.
Frame Location
By default, the opening is positioned in the center of the wall frame. In the Frame Location field, you can type the offset from the default position. The positive direction is outwards from the center of the frame.
Header Height
The height of the bottom edge of the door in relation to the floor base height.
Module offset
The parameter is used to define the frame dimensions of the opening in the horizontal and vertical directions. Enter the desired value in the field.
Frame dimension = Dimension - Module offset
For example:
Width = 6M = 600 mm
Module offset = 10
Frame dimension = 600 -10 = 590 mm
Initial U-Value
A property of an exterior door. The U value is
used in the energy calculations. Indicative U
values have been determined for the building components in the
structure libraries included in the basic software delivery.
Extra Material Categories
You can define a default additional material category differing from the opening's type in the text field. You can also define several categories in the field separated with a vertical bar, comma or space, for example EXTDOOR|GARAGE. The default categories according to the opening types are INTDOOR, EXTDOOR or WINDOW.
You can search for a single category by clicking
the 
- button.
Move the cursor on the row containing the desired category in the
Category field, and click the OK button.
