Mr. McNeal:

you posted a while back about how to create a 4" door head jamb and still
have 2" side jambs.
I have wasted half a day trying it and cannot make it work. Not your fault,
nor mine. I cannot make the door "fill" in between the jambs or anything
else. I am posting a dwg of what I have in customer files. Could you post
a sample of how it should be done, please?

Thanks

D,

I do those with a window assembly that has a door style as infill. The door
frames are turned off and the assembly controls the jamb & head frames.
I've posted the file to CF as "Window Assembly for D"

Enjoy,

Mr. McNeal:

Thanks so much!!! It worked! Question though--How does such a simple and
most often used element get overlooked in the software design? Just curious.
You would think that when doors were being programed that someone would have
noticed that each jamb needs to be able to be independantly controlled and a
simple "check box" could have been added to the program.

Then again, I know of some people who use Nana doors, and offset pivot
doors, and round doors on Hobbit holes, none of which are considered a
'door' by ADT. Unfortunately, I think a lot of the 'content' has had the
programmers office park work environment as an example, not a John Lautner
house. Not the programmers fault, mind you. Users just need to educate
Autodesk as to what good design is, and ask that this content also be
included. Then again, ask any two architects to agree on anything and you
are probably doomed 😉

Sounds like a wish item to me.
Glad it worked out for you.
