Power Door...do you have one yet ?

I downloaded handful of doors from many sources, yet still not get the ideal one...

To me a powerful door should be:

- dimensional/material parametric.

- adjustable swing both 2d/3d

- y/n on frame WD/HM graphically, threshold, pose for rating, knob, holder, etc.

- y/n on at least 8 typical styles, attached.

- y/n on single/double

- see through on perspective (meaning you can see through opening).

  Do you have one like that yet ?

Thats not hard to model you should at least be able to grab the closest to your wish list and modify it to fulfill all your requirements. To find a custom door tailored specifically to your needs is rare if not impossible.

 

Unless you are actually looking for someone on this forum to model it for you 😆 probably we should start a thread/post share a family

Joking aside, you could label the Nested Door Panel Family to a Family Types Parameter in the Host Family.

You could also make the Nested Door Panels Work Plane-Based Families and host them to a Reference Line Work Plane in the Host Family. The Ref. Line Angle could be parametrically controlled.

The best way to learn is by doing...not by downloading.

 

You do not need more than 2-3 days to learn all that there is about families and doors. From your original post it is pretty much clear that you have spent a few days searching and downloading
