Modify Door dialog
Used to modify an existing door instances.
Tip: Selecting a new door type from the catalog item
selector, opens the
Change Type dialog, where the Old Value and the New Value columns are
displayed for review and a new type can be applied.
- The modify door command is completed with a single data point. The door recognizes the wall element (or wall assembly) in which it resides and anticipates the modification operation when modified.
- Modification operations can be completed on selection sets of doors and all modifications are properly completed regardless of differences among element attributes. For example, a situation exists where a set of doors must be modified but the swing direction is different among doors in the selection set. When the modify door swing command is issued in this instance, all door swings are properly modified and reversed.
- Multiple door attributes can be modified in one operation for individual and multiple elements in a selection set. For example, the width of a door and the door type can be changed simultaneously in the same operation.
