Adding a Door

Doors can be added very easily to any house in your design. Because the door will automatically snap to the wall of the nearest house, door placement is fast and easy. Both entrance doors and garage doors can be added using the Door object.

To add a door:

1. Switch to the Perspective view (not required but recommended).

2. Adjust your view until you can clearly see the wall of the house you want to add the door to.

3. From the Building tab, click Add Door.

4. Click the picture of the default door that appears to the right of the screen, and then select the door you would like to use from the menu that appears.

5. Click the wall you want to add the door to.

To move an existing door:

1. Click the door to select it.

2. Click the door again, but this time hold down the left mouse button as you move the mouse to reposition the door. Note that a door cannot be moved to a different house object.

To adjust the elevation of an existing door:

1. Click the door to select it.

2. Hold down the Ctrl key and click the door again, but this time hold down the left mouse button as you move the door up or down.

2. Modify the Elevation property after your door is selected.

Window Options

Some doors have glass and gain all the options and features of a window. See Adding a Window for details.

Tips:

• Doors can be easily duplicated by using the Copy and Paste commands.

• If you want to place multiple doors of the same type, click on the Add Door button, hold the Ctrl key, and then click once for each door you want to add.

• Doors can only be added to existing houses; they cannot be added to other objects.

• The trim color of each door on your house will change to match the color of the house trim.
