After I draw the garage I got to FILE>SYSTEM OPTIONS>SYSTEM LIBRARY Switch my type to OPENINGS, Highlight garage and ADD LIBRARY. Name it Custom. When I click on ONE STEP it opens up ADD NEW OPENING window. Every forum I've seen it says to select the items you want in the door. I can't select anything when that window is open. So im unsure to have the door i drew in that elevation.
Nevermind i found my issue. Need to select elevation openings.

Just tried drawing a custom door but I cant seem to figure out how to draw the panels. I used simple shapes and nothing showed up. Same with opening shape polygon. How?
OK I tried shapes again and it worked. Ideally I would like flat panels with no bead, shaker style but this latest attemp has some sort of style/bead to it. Would also like to be able to put a different color on the panels like the SP doors but mine is all one color except for the bead

You can model all the panels in 3D, create a door, and then associate that door with the opening, but it is a lot of work. The Softplan doors have been specifically modelled, and probably NOT in Softplan. This method of creating doors admittedly isn't great, but does give a reasonably correct look.
The bottom line is if you want a detailed door, then you are going to have to spend a lot of time creating the specific model.from 3D shapes to suit.
