I am trying to find or make a double door with a screen on each side like you would see in schools. ei. doors that seperate hallways. The problem is I have know idea how to alter the door I found on rugi.com to have two doors. Plus usually the window screens have a large enough divider in it. Any leads in the right dirrection would be appreciated.

Sounds like its time to make your first family with the family editor. You will get a more positive response here if you post something that you can't quite make work.

That aside, you should be able to load one of the sidelights from the Revit Download Centre (via www.autodesk.com) into the existing pair of doors and place it either side of the double door. This technique is known as nesting families. It will give you a new family with the approximate characteristics you are looking for.

Good luck
