Narrow stile storefront door which opens 90 degrees

octavio2 — Mon, 30 Dec 2019 22:07:43 GMT

Looking for a narrow stile storefront metal and glass door which opens 90 degree. EFCO has one in their website on BimObjects, but it opens 45 degree, and could not used for the new interior doors that will be located in new interior commercial storefronts. The EFCO door is nice on plan, since it shows thickness and also the glass and the side stiles, but 45 degree doors are used for "existing" doors and not for new doors (it seems that EFCO forgot about that drawings industry convention). These doors are to be added to the renovated interiors of an existing three floor buildings, and since the existing doors are already drawn (and indicated) with 45 degree angles, then the new doors have to be shown at 90 degree.

Tried to modify the EFCO family various times to 90 degrees, unsuccessfully.

If any body has a good one that want to share, it would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

In works and it inserts nicely into the plan. Thanks a lot!

The two "Dimensions" shown under the Properties Dialog, one for the Width and the other for the Height, are grayed, meaning that these cannot be changed. How can I make these non-grayed so the height of the door can be changed? (The door of the project are 7 feet high).

Thanks in advance.

Curtain wall door dimensions are governed by the curtain grid dimensions in project.
