Editing Doors After you create a door, you can change the size, height, width, rise, leaf, and opening. You can also move the door within the wall, flip the hinge or swing, and change the swing opening. You can change the properties of a door by changing its style or its dimensions, moving its anchor location, or specifying the endcap conditions. AutoCAD Architecture offers several methods for editing doors: ■ You can edit doors directly using grips for dimensions and other physical characteristics. ■ For grip edit operations where you are changing a dimension or an angle, the Dynamic Input feature lets you enter a precise value instead of moving a grip. When this feature is active (click DYN on the application status bar), selecting a grip displays a text box in which you can enter the desired value for the associated dimension or angle. For more information, see "Use Dynamic Input" in AutoCAD Help. ■ You can change door settings on the Properties palette. ■ You can select editing commands from the context menu for a selected door. Using Grips to Edit Doors You can use grips to modify the following door properties: ■ Dimensions (width and height) For overhead doors, the width determines the opening cut in the wall. The width dimensions extend beyond the frame opening because the door rides behind the opening. ■ Location in a wall ■ Hinge side (left or right) ■ Swing direction ■ Rise Rise applies to Peak Pentagon, Arch, and Gothic door shapes. For more information, see "Specifying the Design Rules of a Door Style" on page 1027. Refer to the illustrations and steps in this topic to use door grips to edit doors.
