Sometimes we receive some requests of residential plan drafters on a special wall type design in Revit® models. When designing the wood components, they need to insert pocket doors in the framed building walls.
Our BIM solution Wood Framing Wall+ allows Revit users to frame the pocket door; it finds Width and Height parameters then uses it to frame the opening. But if a location point is not correctly described in the Door family, then the opening frame will be placed in a wrong location. For example, if the location of the pocket door family is in the middle, we get this result:
What to do in a such case? To solve this issue you have to improve the Door family by ticking Defines Origin parameter on the Center work plane:
But in such case, the family in the project will be moved from its existing location. Yet now, the pocket door family is correctly created and framed:
And don’t forget about door opening size: Wood Framing Wall+ finds Width and Height parameters for the opening so it helps you to frame the panel which is inside the wall too.
