Door Frames Not Displaying

aaroNVK33B — Tue, 29 Aug 2023 01:29:46 GMT

Hey there

I'm slowly moving to AutoCAD Architecture from the traditional AutoCAD.

Is there a possibility of displaying the door frames in AutoCAD Architecture? I've been facing this issue for some time now.

Thank you for your assistance in advance.

Greetings @aaroNVK33B
Since that line and arc are not a door either... perhaps a deeper dive into creating doors/frames might help you progress a bit further along with frames.

By chance, have you seen the similar posts around here yet? here is one you might find helpful (scroll down for extended/additional tips)

@aaroNVK33B

If that is an AutoCAD Architecture Door, then you may have the Low Detail Display Configuration set current, or an equivalent one that has the Plan Low Detail Display Representation active for Doors.

The Plan Low Detail Display Representation for Doors does not have a Frame component, and the Panel component is a single line, as your image shows. The opening in the Wall is from outside of frame to outside of frame. This is meant for small scale drawings where double lines at frame and panel would likely merge as the distance between would be less than the lineweight.

To see the Frame component, change the Display Configuration to Medium Detail or High Detail (or an equivalent).

In the image below, the same Walls and Door are shown with three different Display Configurations active.
