Raised 6 panel door slabs (leafs) ???

[taoist]

I have not been able to find in the Libraries or Custom leafs a raised 6 panel door (interior / exterior).

Very common here in the states.

JELD-WEN or ThermTru libraries anywhere?

[CipesDesign]

You can create it. See Attached...

[taoist]

Thanks.

I have tried that route already.

It is not a raised panel door

See image

[CipesDesign]

Yes, that's true. I suppose you could model one pretty easily, then add it too your personal library...

Should I create the panels using EAP & a profile?

Sweep Tool?

Loft Tool?

This style leaf should be in our libraries as a standard IMO

I tried using wall cabinet tool.

Multi Panel Raised

It gives only 4 panels

Set stile & rail to 0"

Set depth to 1-3/4"

Set height to 80"

Set width to 36"

Here is what we get

You can also try this

In elevation draw the panel negative

Subtract from the door

Create a symbol

Insert into wall.

[taoist]

What do you mean by draw the panel negative?

[bcd]

Draw what you want to subtract from the Door Slab to create the illusion of raised panels.

[CipesDesign]

Those are cool. Try the Tapered Extrude command to create raised panels.

[bcd]

thanks - yes that's what I used

1/2" 60?

[taoist]

Thanks!

Another great tip!

Time to create some door slabs.

Unfortunately, if the door is a slab with subtractions versus one built up of parts, you can't get the wood grain to flow in the standard fashion thus losing a lot of realism when using strongly grained wood textures.

I agree these should be in our library.
