Single Storefront Door with Stiles and Rails

[sfkitchen3]

Hello! I’m working on my senior capstone project and need help finding the fastest and easiest way to add a single storefront door with stiles and rails in Revit. My first floor has 12 storefronts/curtain walls, most of which either don’t have doors or have double doors. However, a few require single doors.

I’ve tried Googling this but haven’t had much luck—maybe I’m not using the right search terms. I’ve also considered downloading a Revit Family file from BIM Objects or RevitCity, but surely there’s a way to create a single door like I did for the double doors.

If anyone can help, I’d really appreciate it! I’ve attached a picture of the door I’m trying to create (please excuse my chicken scratch), along with what I have so far in Revit. Thanks in advance!

Sure you can create that simple door with sidelite with basic understanding how to create a parametric family.  You can watch some tutorial video on YouTube, for example this one:

To be honest I did not watch it because 24 minutes is too long for such a simple family, but it may benefit newer users.

There are plenty of ready made families online but it is good to know how to make them.

Thank you so much for sharing!

After posting my question yesterday, I came across a post from a few years ago in which someone shared a single door for a storefront/curtain wall. I downloaded it, and it worked perfectly!

That said, I really appreciate knowing other options and resources for creating parametric families. Thanks again for your help!

If you are looking for more detailed Revit components, especially doors and windows, the Revit User Group D-A-CH (Germany / Austria / Switzerland) has developed a more extensive collection of components ("German Content v1 for Revit 2024"). You can download them here. 

One drawback is that all parameters are in german, so if you want to parametrically change sizes and dimensions, you might have to do some translation work first...
