Rookie65 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Hi all, What do you folks do when you want to put sidelights next to an entry door? On a full glass one I make a fixed window & adjust the frame. Yet when I ama using a door w/some detail, the best I have found is to make the unit a pocket door so it shows the slab. Yet on the floor plan you see the area where the doors slide in to eaither wall? Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 You can place a door, set the door swing to "0" inches and resize to suit or you can place a window, make it "fixed" and then change its attributes to look like a side light, either method works just fine DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 you can also check the Bonus Library Archive online and see if one of the Manufacturers has a Door with sidelights that may suit your needs. eg http://3dlibrary.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?r=site/detail/693 orhttp://3dlibrary.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?r=site/detail/946 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie65 Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 Thank you, David, I like that idea, yet on the elevation view, it still shows the arrow pointing to the hinge side. Kbird, I will look more into that later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 You can turn the Hinge (Opening ) Indicators off if desired, though it turns them all off , in the Display Options if desired. From the manual: To show/ not show opening indicator arrows in 3D views, turn on/off the “Opening Indicators” layer in the Layer Display Options dialog.

Rookie65 Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 I will give that a try. I am hoping it will work when doing a 2D elevation view. Thank you again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Kbird1 Posted February 26, 2015 Solution Share Posted February 26, 2015 It does , I usually have them turned off myself , you have to turn them off while in the 2D view though, if you are not aware EVERY view has its own display Options DBX (dialog box) M. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
