Custom Door leaf

[MKingsley]

Hello all,

I'm using a custom door leaf on a door that was created using the VW12 door tool and then converted into a symbol. What I can't do is give that door leaf a custom color. I can access that door leaf symbol in the file's collection of symbols in the resource browser and edit that to the color I want using styles in the classes window. In the symbol edit window the door then renders as I want. I then go to choose that door leaf from within the settings dialog of the door symbol created earlier and all the "special classes" in the "view" settings are as I want them. Everything works fine except for getting the door leaf to render using the choices in the special classes. It just renders to a putty color with the glazing clear and not blue like I want. Am I doing this correctly or is this not possible using the custom leaf choice.

TIA,

Michael,

You will need to edit the custom leaf in the custom leaf libray file in the VW 12>libray>defaults folder, then use the edited leaf in your door.

You may want to duplicate the original leaf and edit the duplicate to your liking.
