Door Type Properties

To modify a type property of a door, you change the value of the corresponding parameter as described under Modifying Type Properties.

Note: Changing a door type property will affect all doors of that type in the project. Note also that the type name does not update when you change type parameter values. For example, you could use the type parameter Structure to change the width of the Generic - 6” wall type to 6.5”, but the type name will remain Generic - 6”. If you want to create a new door type, click Duplicate. For more information, see Creating a New Family Type in a Project.

Common type properties for doors are described below.

Name	Description
Construction
Wall Closure	The layer wrapping around the door. It overrides any settings in the host.
Construction Type	The type of construction for the door.
Function	Indicates whether a door is interior (default value) or exterior. Function is used in scheduling and to create filters to simplify a model when exporting.
Materials and Finishes
Door Material	The material for the door (for example, metal or wood)
Frame Material	The material for the door frame.
Dimensions
Thickness	The thickness of the door.
Height	The height of the door.
Trim Projection Ext	The exterior trim projection.
Trim Projection Int	The interior trim projection.
Trim Width	The width of the door trim.
Width	The width of the door.
Rough Width	Can be scheduled or exported.
Rough Height	Can be scheduled or exported.
Identity Data
Keynote	Add or edit the door keynote. Click in the value box to open the Keynotes dialog. See Keynotes.
Model	The name of the model type of the door.
Manufacturer	The name of the door manufacturer.
Type Comments	Comments about the door type. Information can appear in a schedule.
URL	Sets a link to a manufacturer web page.
Description	Provides a description for the door.
Assembly Description	Description of the assembly based on the assembly code selection.
Assembly Code	Uniformat assembly code selected from hierarchical list.
Type Mark	A value to designate the particular door type. This value must be unique for each door type in a project. Revit warns you if the number is already used, but allows you to continue using it. (You can see the warning using the Review Warnings tool. See Reviewing Warning Messages.)
Fire Rating	The fire rating of the door.
Cost	The cost of the door.
OmniClass Number	The number from Table 23 of the OmniClass Construction Classification System that best categorizes the family type.
OmniClass Title	The name from Table 23 of the OmniClass Construction Classification System that best categorizes the family type.
IFC Parameters
Operation	The operation of the door, as defined by the current IFC description (for example, single_swing_left or double_door_double_swing). These values are case-insensitive, and underscores are optional. (SINGLE_SWING_LEFT and SingleSwingLeft are the same.)
Analytical Properties
Analytic Construction
Heat Transfer Coefficient (U)	Used in calculating the heat transfer, typically by convection or phase change between a fluid and a solid.
Thermal Resistance (R)	A measure of a temperature difference, by which an object, or material, resist a heat flow (heat per time unit or thermal resistance.
Solar Heat Gain Coefficient	The fraction of incident solar radiation admitted through a window, both directly transmitted and absorbed and subsequently released inward.
Visual Light Transmittance	The amount of visible light that passes through a glazing system, expressed as a percent.
