RevitWorks Door Factory - Imperial sizing help required

[Alex Page]

Introducing the RevitWorks Door Factory: a door maker add-on for Autodesk Revit
Create almost any door you want in seconds, without going into the family editor.

Visit our Door Factory webpage to watch the introductory video, download a free trial version and find out more about how the Door Factory can help you be more productive.
The 2011 Metric version is available now (there’s also a Trial on our website), 2012 version is coming soon, but
we need some help with the Imperial Versions.
The Door Factory comes preloaded with default values for widths/heights, jamb sizes, tolerances etc.
These are completely user adjustable, but we believe they should start with a value that is relevant.
I’ve attached a ms word document which lists these parameters (with descriptions) – there are less than 30 to fill out.

Any Americans out there who could help us out with our default sizes? – we will reward with a free license to the most useful reply.

Download the document and just fill in the default values and email to us (our email details are within the document).

Door Factory 2013 and 2014

The latest release of the Door Factory is now available. In this version we have implemented some great features from the feedback we have received from our customers.
New features include:
• A new Inter-connecting door action has been added (i.e. used for interconnecting hotel rooms)
• All doors are now available with flat jambs (Flat jamb option has been added to Single Swing, Double Swing, Hatch, Double Hatch and all Bi-folds)
• The symbolic line-work for the panel within plan views is now on its own sub category allowing the panel to be shown differently than the swing.
• A Release License button is now available allowing one to easily move the licence key to another PC.

Features introduced in the previous release (v2):

• New Contained Slider Actions: 1 + 1 Fixed, 2+2 Fixed (i.e. end panel is fixed) and Multi Panel
• Single and Double door Hatches (jambs and trims to all 4 sides)
• Stop Jambs can now have doorstop depth centred on the jamb (compared to having it as a specified depth)
• Double Swing and Pivot 2-Way doors can now have opposing Swings
• Jamb Head Width can be specified separately from the jamb width to the sided of the door
• User Components are now available for Curtain Panel Doors.
• Extra components have been added to the Panel, Handle and User components libraries

All these new features are included in the new Door Factory 2014 and in version v2.1 for Revit 2013
