SAMPLE BFDOORELV COMMAND SYNTAX:

Command: BFDOORELV

The following dialog appears:

Select the size you want. You may either use the preset size buttons or enter a custom size in the boxes above.

 

The following dialog appears:

Most bifold doors are interior doors, so "Interior" is checked. The difference between exterior and interior doors is simply whether or not the trim is drawn below finished floor. Trim can be drawn below finished floor so that the trim will be drawn down to the bottom of the siding. (The distance that the trim goes below the finished floor is set in the Door Elevations portion of the APS-CONFIG command). Interior doors will not have trim below the finished floor.

Select the door style for the bifold doors by clicking on the appropriate style in the image.

 

Insertion point:

Select the insertion point for the door. The insertion base point for the door is the bottom left corner of the door (not the trim or frame). The intersection snap is added to your running object snaps if not already being used.

 

Rotation angle <0.0000>:

Select or enter the rotation angle for the door. The default is 0.0 so you usually can just press <Enter> or <Space>.

 

--the door is inserted--
