How to Add a Door

Step-by-step

Select Door Type:
Click the Doors button in the toolbar and choose between:
- Single Door
- Bi-folding Door
(Both doors function the same way)
Ensure Walls are Drawn:
Doors must be placed on walls.
If no walls are present, you’ll receive a warning: “Doors can only be placed on rooms”
Position the Door:
Move the cursor near a wall. When the rectangle aligns with the wall, it will turn into a door symbol with dimension guides to assist placement.
Left-click to place the door in the desired location.
Finalize Placement:
To place additional doors, repeat the process.
To stop placing doors, click Done in the top left or press Escape on your keyboard.

When you click on a placed door, you can adjust the following properties in the Properties panel:

Name: Identifier for the door.
Color: For visual clarity in the design workspace.
Length and Height: Used in heat load calculations to determine the area of the door.
Door Material: This value, taken from the Heat Load settings, is critical for heat load calculations.
- The material determines the U-value.
U-Value: This value, taken from the Heat Load settings, represents thermal conductivity, typically linked to the door material.
External Temperature: This value, taken from the Heat Load settings, is factored into the heat load calculation if the door is on an external wall.
Door Type: Toggle between Single Door and Bifolding Door to adjust the design as needed.
