Door with Louver Family

[PhilvK]

I need some advice please on creating a door family with a lower panel louver. I don’t need the family to be accurate for the sake of the louver, i.e., I don’t need the blades modeled, just the appearance of louvers in the elevations and the 3D views if possible. I am think of putting some trim on the face of the door in the family that represents the louver limits and then using some 2D drafting lines to get the look of the louver. Is there a better / easier way?

I did find a family of a door with a louver, but it is only the door and not the frame, and I am not sure how that would be brought into a door family. It also didn’t appear to be parametric, so the size would be fixed and not change with the door width and height. Any help is appreciated, and Happy New Year!

Thanks,

Phil

In the standard Revit US library there is a door with louvers.

Thank you. I found it in the US Metric library. I only need the bottom panel for the door I’m using and will study this family to see if I can edit to fit my condition. I also need to get this door into my family with my wrap-around hollow metal frame. Thanks again, and Happy New Year!
