    Half-Door Problem

    I have this problem of inserting a half-door in a normal sized door way with a round arch top. Any ideas people?

    The videos we watch are not 100% gold, but if we find a gold nugget, the time spent viewing has a value.

    We can please some of the people some of the time, but we can't please all the people all of the time..... but I will keep trying.

    Try double stacking two doors and adjusting size, etc.

    If the Government would just cut down more d*** trees, I'd have a much better view of the forest.

    Try removing the sill from the upper door-- unless I misunderstood?

    Gerry,

    You have to suppress casing also - replace with molding polyline

    This can be done with a custom door symbol. It's a little tricky to get exactly right but it can be done. One simple option is to just create a couple of simple symbols or blocks and place them in an opening.

    I prefer the custom symbol.

    One doorway with casing, “upper” and “lower” door without casing, and a lot of fiddling around...
