re: Printing. Doors/walls different thickness

[Mike893]

When inserting doors it also inserts small sections of walls on both sides of the door.

 

When printing or plotting the small sections of walls on both sides of the door are different thicknesses.

 

How do make the those walls blend into the existing walls? Same thickness as the existing walls?

 

Windows seem to be ok, not inserting any additional sections of walls on either side.

when inserting a door, there should not be any pieces of wall with it, it should have a frame, door and door stop within the style. These are all modifiable in the style options.

Thanks!

 

Is that located in the DOORSTYLEEDIT?

[Noahma]

it should be in the contextual tab on your ribbon.

For Architecture 2010, would that be in the Home, Insert, Annotate, Render, View or Manage?

 

Thanks Noahma!

It wll be in the contextual tab that pops up when you select the door / window. The ribbon should turn green. It will be in the general panel when it pops up.

OK I got it! I selected the doors and the Contextual Tab turned green. Then clicked on "Edit Style" pull down menu and clicked on "Edit Style" which opens the "Door Style Properties - Standard".

 

Where do I go from here?

 

Thanks

The dimensions tab. There you will find all the stuff to modify the sizes of many items. The one you are looking for is frame. I usually have the frame width set to "auto adjust to wall thickness" checked unless there is a specific condition (brick ect.) that requires it to be set otherwise.

Hi Noahma,

 

I don't see it. I see in the General tab, Dimension icon (DIMADD). When I click on the DIMADD, the left popout window comes out. That's the same as right clicking on the door and selecting Properties.

 

I'm in the 7th tab, Home, Insert, Annotate, Render, View, Manage and Door which only shows up when I click on the door and is green.

 

There's 4 ribbons, General, Endcap, Anchor and Profile.

 

[Noahma]

The dimensions tab will be in the edit style window.

[Mike893]

The drop down menu only has Edit Style, Door Style and Profile Definitions.

 

The Edit Style icon (DOORSTYLEEDIT) does have a window that's called "Door Style Properties - Standard" and in the "Dimensions" tab, I already checked "Auto-Adjust to Width of Wall" but didn't correct it.

[Noahma]

looks to me like it is a cut plane issue. Can you post a copy of part of the file?

Change your frame width, or do your doors have a 2'-8" frame width? Our welded frame has a width of 2-1/4"
