Would anyone happen to have a 9-Lite Door 3D symbol?  I've looked on 3D Warehouse as suggested by SoftPlan, but couldn't see one.  I don't know how to use sketch-up, or I guess I could create my own.  I don't believe you can create one inside SoftPlan can we?

 

Thanks in advance for any help!

There's an existing nine light door ... Search "DUTCH"

The "dutch" are 6 lite. not sure why.

if you add A-Series Andersen French door then you can add the grill pattern as you need it

I've never been sure either (6 lights are very uncommon here), but if you uncheck product code, you can change the grille pattern - at least I seem to remember that's the way to do it ... it's been a while, since I used one, as I have a 9 light set up as standard.

Keith,

 

While it is possible to uncheck the product code and adjust the grilles, I believe that this only works for 2d or elevations. If you would like an accurate 3d model, you would need to update the 3d model linked to this door in the system or drawing library ->Elevation openings

 

I am attaching a sketchup model of the softplan dutch door slab model that has been updated to have 9 lites.

having trouble uploading.... This should work.

Thank you all!

[Keith Almond]

Actually Wesley. you are right ... ish ...

 

I remember now that instead of updating the 3D model, I unlinked it from the dutch door, forcing the door to generate its own 3D.

[Stephan Page]

I cannot figure out how to do that...  Any chance you could explain how?  

[Wesley Penner]

You would need to go into the elevation opening library, find the right elevation opening and uncheck the "Link to 3D Symbol" checkmark. See attached. Like Keith explained then the 3d slab will be generated by Softplan. While not as detailed a 3d this can work for well for elevations and quick 3d's.
