Windows and Exterior Doors Question

[jmyers]

I have been unable to figure out the following:

 

1. How to create twin windows (double windows).  I'd like to have a mulled twin 3/0-5/0 window.  Are there any other options besides placing two 3/0-5/0 windows beside one another or placing a 6/0-5/0 window in the wall?

 

2. How to create an exterior entry door with sidelites on each side.

Chief has mulled windows, Home Designer does not.

??? Look in the Library, or place a door and 2 windows. What are you wanting that that does not do?

I have placed a window beside my door and that looks great on the floor plan and exterior elevation view. However, it creates an issue with automatic exterior dimensions. The dimensions shows measurements for a window, which is actually inaccurate if the intent is to use a door/sidelite mulled unit.

What do you want your dimensions to look like?

I do not want an exterior dimension line to the middle of the sidelite (window).  I'd like for the dimension line to go to the middle of the exterior door only.

Remove it then. You can remove or add to a dimension string.

Am I able to delete a portion of the string?  I'd like to keep the rest of the dimension string.

Watch a video or 2 on dimensions.
