taoist Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 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? Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 You can create it. See Attached... Quote Link to comment
taoist Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 Thanks. I have tried that route already. It is not a raised panel door See image Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Yes, that's true. I suppose you could model one pretty easily, then add it too your personal library... Quote Link to comment
taoist Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment
taoist Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment
bcd Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 You can also try this In elevation draw the panel negative Subtract from the door Create a symbol Insert into wall. Quote Link to comment
taoist Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 What do you mean by draw the panel negative? Quote Link to comment
bcd Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Draw what you want to subtract from the Door Slab to create the illusion of raised panels. Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Those are cool. Try the Tapered Extrude command to create raised panels. Quote Link to comment
bcd Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 thanks - yes that's what I used 1/2" 60? Quote Link to comment
taoist Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 Thanks! Another great tip! Time to create some door slabs. Quote Link to comment
Tom G. Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 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. Tom Quote Link to comment
