When I do Garage doors I usually also need to create a door pocket in the Stemwall.   I do this by creating an extrusion and turning it into a wall recess (found in the AEC menu.)

Thanks for this.  the foundation wall recess was a part of the problem as well so this really helps 

[Data tags with the eventual goal of window and door schedules]

Hello all, 

I wondering how to use data tags properly.  Right now when i tag doors, they will always tag as D-01.  for the most part I am only using standard doors and the customizing is limited to width, height and opening in left, out ect.  I would like to start creating quick door and window schedules with these data points but when i tag any door or any window, the tag is always 01.  I have manually used the sequential numbering tag to produce drawings with tags so far but it's really labor intensive and i know theres a much better way to do this.  

 

I'm sure I've skipped some step in the learning process along the way, and it seems like the videos i have found have not explained how to do this correctly.  other than Im onto the IFC data for the first time.  but again the IFC data is giving everything a label of 01 over and over again 

 

thanks in advance

Hello All, 

I relatively new to this without any training.  So i may have some pretty beginner questions.  I wondering how you all handle a garage overhead door for a Single family home, since its most often at a lower level then the 0'0" main floor? I've been creating a new story and fighting through the bounds and shoving a short wall into to set the door. then cutting out the door for the main floor exterior wall.

 

I'm quite certain this is not the easiest way to achieve this but its all I've come up with 

 

thanks in advance
