Modeling Non-variable Doors

A non-variable door refers here to a door, the panel of which is not variable. The only variable part is the frame. Width (ROW) and height (ROH) are defined for the frame, but separate variables are defined for the door panel which will not variate.

The door is modeled in the same way as a variable door, but the frame variables may not be used in other parts. Use variables such as DOOR_WIDTH and DOOR_HEIGHT in other parts. Then only the frame will variate, which will make handling the model faster in the Vertex BD application.

Door Panel

Model the door plane using the same technique as the door panel of a variable door, but now you will have to save each different size version of the door panel in its own file. You can create the required size versions by changing the size of the door panel and resaving.

Creating a Door Assembly

Once all door panels have been modeled, each panel must be added to its own door assembly, which then needs to be saved into a file of its own.

For example: There are two door panels, and there are accurate and coarse models for both in files DOOR8x19_ACC, DOOR8x19_RDD, DOOR9x19_ACC and DOOR9x19_RDD. Four different assemblies are created from these, each having a different door panel.

Note

• The creation of the assemblies requires that the Advanced 3D Modeling add-on option is available to you.
