XactRemodel and XactRestore Studio support several door types. This document covers how to add them, their properties, their types, and styles.
Add doors
To add doors to a Studio sketch, follow the steps below.
- Within a project, select Studio.
- Select the Doorway icon.
- Hover over the wall at the desired location for the doorway.
- Left click to place the doorway.
Note: To add multiple doorways in a row, press and hold the Control key on the keyboard before placing the first door. To add a wider or narrower door, select and drag to draw the doorway to the desired size.
Note: You can add non-standard doors by selecting the arrow next to the doorway tool instead of the icon. The default door type on new projects is standard; however, once a new door type is selected that will remain the default when selecting the doorway tool again. Alternatively, press the D key on the keyboard to quickly add doorways.
