Door Dimensions
Some door dimensions depend on the shape and type specified in the door
style.
Rise is the height from the top of the rectangular portion of a door to the peak
of the door opening for Gothic, Arch, and Peak Pentagon door shapes.
Leaf specifies the door size for pairs of Uneven, Uneven-Dhung, and Uneven
Opposing door types. For more information about leaf, see Door Properties
on page 1860.
Door Endcaps
Doors that are anchored in a wall can have endcap styles applied to them.
The endcap shapes for wall openings are defined in the wall style and are a
property of the wall. For information on setting an opening endcap style in
a wall, see Working with Wall Endcaps and Opening Endcaps on page 1359.
Vertical Alignment of Doors
You use vertical alignment settings to control the placement of the door in
the wall, the location of the working point vertically in the wall, and how the
door responds to modifications in height. To determine the working point
on the door, use the threshold and head height settings. You can place the
working point at the sill or at the head. For example, if you specify the vertical
alignment as 0'' and the door height as 7'–0'', the door opening height is 7’–0''.
If you next specify the height of the door as 6'–8'', the door threshold remains
at 0'' and the door opening height becomes 6’–8''.
For the door head working point, if you specify the vertical alignment as 7'–0''
and the door height as 7'–0'', the door opening height is 7–0''. If you specify
the door height as 6'–8'', the door head remains at 7'–0'' and the door threshold
becomes 4''.
Materials in Doors
You can assign materials to a door. Materials are displayed in wireframe and
working shade views, or when rendered. Materials have specific settings for
individual components of a door, such as the panel, the stop, the frame, or a
glass inset.
