Overhead Coiling Door Section Help!!!

Anonymous
Not applicable

This is an overhead coiling door from Revit Library, and it has the width of 8". 

I'm detailing a section through the door, but it's hard to see a preference. If anyone who has it, I would like to share. I'm new to Revit, so I need help from professionals. There are two details as I pointed out in the pic I attached in this post. Thank you in advance if someone helps me.

 

The door is Sectional_Oh_Door_With_Dock_Leveler_amp_Dock_Shelter in Revit Family.

It is not clear what you are asking. What do you mean by "it is hard to see a preference?" It seems to me that you are asking about the header and sill detail of the door? If that is true, then, that would be an architectural question, not a Revit question. I am sure that you can find some recommended details in the website of the manufacturer, or some generic typical details in other resources such as Architectural Graphic Standards or similar. Please let me know if I am not understanding your question.

Thank you Alfado. 

I wasn't clear about the question. Yes. I need header and sill detail of the door. You're right about what I would like to ask. I meant that I don't have any preference about those details. I don't know if you can help me with that. Thank you so much.

I think that is outside of the purpose of the forum. This is an architectural question that you need to define yourself for your project. As I said, there are some resources that I mentioned above for sill details, head details, etc.

You're right. Thank you. However, do we have any better section of this type of door in Revit. I had the details of the header and sill, but I still need a little bit clear about the section of this door type in Revit because it misses the detail of the header. You have any idea about that?

Again, the families in the Revit libraries do not include construction details. You have to define that.
