I dontunderstand the : from frame to door can you elaborate please?
hi, with the Lifetimes Home guide, we need to show that the door has a clear opening when open from the door to the internal frame (the actual clear opening width)
hope this makes sense
No. Families cannot have printing dimensions in them. You'll have to dimension the door in the project drawing.
Perhaps you could draw symbolic lines to resemble a dimension, and set a visibility parameter to them, then create a label that equals a dimension parameter in the family for clear opening? Just a though, I have no idea if it would work.
thanks for the ideas, i will give them ago in the office on monday
You could also create an Annotation Family that looks like a dimension and contains the needed parameter that displays like a dimension. Then, nest that Annotation Family into your door family with a calculated parameter to suit your needs, then link the two parameters and voila! You now have a door family that, when placed, has the "dimension" in your documentation. You could also place a visibility parameter on the nested Annotation Family so you could turn it off if necessary.
