It would be great if fire ratings for doors and windows could be detected by the fire rating of the wall into which the door is placed.

The parameters for determining the door rating based on the wall rating could be generally set up in the Options/AEC window. Then, the wall could also carry information relating to its fire rating, such as fire barrier, corridor wall, fire wall, etc.

This would help to ensure coordinated project data and reduce problems during procurement and construction.

If you upgrade to 2007 or 2008 this can already be done.

If you upgrade to 2007 or 2008 this can already be done....by using an Anchor property.

It can also be retrieved using a formula property in 2006 and earlier.
