Macca u gave me this door a couple of weeks ago, that is great thanks.

I have been using it but when I change its properties for a 920  it does not schedule as 920 it comesout as the cavity slider unit width at 1900. Hve you or anyone got an idea how to make this schedule at 920, which is what the builder will want to know when he orders the door.

I will be scoring goals soon, I'm in the back line at the moment!

Pele,

 

The door is not done correctly in my opinion. in a typical door family, there are only a few parameters that can show up in a door schedule. (e.g. width, height, rough width, rough height, thickness) Anything other than that will not be schedulable unless you made it as a shared parameters.

in your case, "door width" is a user created pararmeter (and not a shared parameter either), therefore, it will not show on the door schedule.

3 options that i can come up with...

1. is to fix the family so that the "width" in your door is the actual width of the door.

2. made that "door width" = 920 as shared parameter so that it will reflect on the door schedule 

(note that this will open a can of worm if you don't know how to deal with share parameter

3. from your project, create a project parameter for your door, made it as a text parameter for your "door width" and fake the value to whatever you want. (this will be my least favourite option)

 

My suggestion is to go with option 1 .

since this will be a better solution if you decide to use this family for any future projects.
