Loren42 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Greetings, I have a custom door I made based on an actual product that I would like to use in my model. However, I do not know how to create the symbol so that it can be inserted into a wall and have it automagically create the opening in the wall. Is there a way to do this? Thanks.

Vectorworks, Inc Employee Tamsin Slatter Posted April 28, 2013 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted April 28, 2013 With the Design Series versions of Vectorworks, you can use the Door tool and choose Use Symbol Geometry on the Door Settings. That way, the Door can be IDed with the ID label tool. However, in Fundamentals, you can't do this. Instead, create a symbol from your door, (Modify > Create Symbol) and on the Create Symbol dialog, enable Insert in Walls. Hope that helps Quote Link to comment
Loren42 Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 Thanks! I have 2012 Designer/MD, so I will try giving the first solution a spin. Quote Link to comment
