A simple 2"x4-1/2" aluminum frame, with a 36" wide door with a sidelite

I seem to be struggling to create a simple 2"x4-1/2" aluminum frame, with a 36" wide door with a sidelite.

I'm not worried about the elevation of it, just how it displays in plan view. I pretty much want a 2"x4-1/2" frame, a 36" door, a 2x4-1/2" frame, a, 18"Lx1" glass unit , and a 2"x4-1/2" frame. Total opening = 60". I don't want the appearance of a nested frame. Can someone help me?

Thanks

What have you tried so far? Can you post that DWG file?

This drawing has linework of what I want, and where I'm stuck with door/window assembly.

I've attached a door window assembly that will work. I used one of the styles provided in the library and made a few adjustments to match your dimensions. I'm using 2020 btw. Be sure to look at the display options to see the sills for the door and the below in plan for the frame to see how the gray lines were added.
