Door Heights

Use Door Heights to review and standardise the height of New doors by project level.

Flow creates or reuses appropriately sized door types and then assigns the affected door instances to those types.

Open Door Heights

Run Door Heights from the Openings Manager or the corresponding Flow command.

The Door Height settings window lists the project levels that contain doors and provides a target height for each level.

Proposed Heights

For each populated level, Flow checks the existing door types and looks for the most common Panel Height.

Where a usable height can be determined, that value becomes the proposed height for the level.

If no usable Panel Height can be determined, Flow falls back to:

  • 2200 mm for the first populated level
  • 1980 mm for subsequent populated levels

Review the proposed values before applying the changes.

Review before applying

The values shown in the Door Heights window are intended to be reviewed.

Adjust a level value where the project requires a different door height.

Apply Door Heights

  1. Open Door Heights.
  2. Review the levels containing doors.
  3. Check the proposed height for each level.
  4. Adjust any values that need to change.
  5. Apply the operation.
  6. Review the completion result.

Flow processes the applicable doors and updates them to the required type.

New Doors Only

Door Height adjustment is intended for New doors.

Flow skips doors classified as:

  • Existing
  • Demolished

This prevents the standard New-door height workflow from changing existing or demolished opening documentation.

How Door Types Are Updated

Flow does not simply change the shared Panel Height of every existing door type.

For each applicable door, it:

  1. reads the current door type's Panel Width
  2. combines that width with the required level height
  3. builds the required type name
  4. looks for that type within the same door family
  5. reuses it if it already exists
  6. otherwise duplicates the current type and applies the required Panel Height
  7. assigns the door instance to the resulting type

The type naming format is:

<width>w x <height>h

For example:

810w x 2200h

This allows doors of the same width and height to reuse the same family type.

Existing Door Types

If the required type already exists within the same door family, Flow reuses it.

A duplicate type is only created when the required width-and-height type cannot already be found.

Only Selected Doors

Where the Door Heights workflow is being used with a selected set of doors, the settings window can provide an Only Selected Doors option.

Use this when the level settings should only be applied to the selected door instances rather than every applicable door on those levels.

Completion Result

The Door Heights result can report information including:

  • Processed doors
  • Updated doors
  • Created types
  • Reused types
  • Skipped - no width
  • Skipped - no level
  • Skipped - no height setting
  • Skipped - existing or demolished

Review skipped items if the number of updated doors is lower than expected.

If a Door Is Not Updated

Check that:

  • the door is New rather than Existing or Demolished
  • the door family provides a usable Panel Width
  • the door type provides a usable Panel Height
  • a height has been provided for the door's level
  • the door is included in the selected scope where selection is being used
