How To Create a Half-Door in ACA 2014?

[Anonymous]

I'm new to the architecture package, but not AutoCAD. I just got training and this has stumped my instructor and me. We use half doors in our buildings and can't figure out how to design one. The door and frame that will finish @ 42" AFF. Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks in advance.

I am not certain exactly what you are asking.  Do you want a door that is 42" high, that fills the frame, or do you want a normal height frame (80" or 84" or whatever) with a 42" high leaf?  The former is easy (set the door height to 42"), so I assume that is not what you want.  If you want the latter, you will need to turn off the Panel component and add a custom block to represent the door panel in Display Representations where you want different graphics than the out-of-the-box components provide.

I'm looking for basically a dutch door where the top section of the door is removed, and the frame is cut off @ 42" AFF...no top horizontal frame component.

Then you would also have to turn off the Frame component, and add custom block(s) to show the frame to 42".
