In order to schedule doors correctly we need to be able to define much more about the composition of a door than we can now.
Currently we can only control the shim gap and leaf size or structural/rough opening. And these controls apply equally to the jamb and head, and assume a door leaf sitting flush with floor.
The problem with this is that it doesn't take account of the gap between the leaf and jamb for instance. Or the gap between the door leaf and the floor.
So it's impossible to accurately schedule doors because you have to add the gap between the leaf and jamb to the shim gap (in order to get the jamb thickness and leaf width to schedule correctly). And there's just no facility to define the gap at the bottom of the door so (in the UK) you just have to leave the door leaf height off the schedule (in order to get the structural opening/rough opening to schedule correctly).
We need to be able to define these gaps, so we can schedule both the leaf size and structural opening size accurately.
