Door structural opening / screed

[PiotrS]

Hi All,
How are you dealing with the structural opening under the door/below FFL?
I want to have a gap in the wall, so the screed and other layers can go through the opening.

My Workaround.

- Make the Door Height = door height + floor height.

  (to cut the Wall "beneath" your Door)

- Give Door a Z Offset (- floor height)

- In Door Style activate and assign a suitable "Threshold" with floor height

  (to keep the bottom of Door Leave above the Floor))

- Assign a hidden Class to Threshold to make it invisible

- Draw a Rectangle iside the Door cut out on Layer Plane

- Convert Rectangle to Object = Slab (of your desired Floor Package Style)

 

Mandatory :

- To model with separate Structural Slab vs Flor Package Slabs

(which you usually will have when having different Floor Materials for your Rooms)

Thank you Zoomer,

 

I have found a similar workflow, but with Door Height = Door Height from FFL.
1- Threshold Z Offet = - (minus) floor height
2 - Threshold on invisible classes without graphic attribute
3 - in door preference set up in 2D and Classes choose special class for Thresholed

I think this exactly what I meant and tried to describe from memory

🙂

 

But of course I would prefer it as a more comfortable feature in the Door tool ....

Hi All,
