Modify instance properties to change a door's level, sill height, frame type, material, and more.
To change instance properties, select the element and change its properties on the Properties palette.
Name | Description |
---|---|
Constraints | |
Level | Indicates the level on which this instance is placed. |
Sill Height | Specifies the height of the sill in relation to the level on which this instance is placed. Changing this value does not change the instance size. |
Orientation | Select vertical or slanted orientation for a door for a door placed in a
slanted wall. When changing a vertical wall that contains inserts (windows, doors) to a slanted wall, the inserts will remain in a vertical orientation and you must adjust their orientation manually using the Orientation Instance property.
Note: After creating a door, deselect the door, click away, and reselect the door to display the parameter. See
Troubleshooting: Cannot Find an Instance Parameter.
Note: After placing a door that is oriented vertically in a slanted wall, you must manually resolve the resulting gap between the element and the wall.

Construction | |
Frame Type | Specifies the type of frame around the door. You can enter a value or select a previously entered value from the drop-down list. |
Materials and Finishes | |
Frame Material | Specifies the material used for the frame. You can enter a value or select a previously entered value from the drop-down list. |
Finish | Specifies the finish applied to the frame and door. You can enter a value or select a previously entered value from the drop-down list. |
Identity Data | |
Comments | Displays a comment that you enter or select from the drop-down list. Once entered, a comment can be selected for other instances of elements in the same category, regardless of type or family. |
Mark | Identifies or enumerates a particular instance as specified by the user. For doors, this property enumerates instances within a category by increasing the value by 1 for each instance placed. For example, the first door you place in a project will have a Mark value of 1 by default. The next door you place, regardless of type, will have a Mark value of 2. If you change this value to one that is already used by another door, Revit LT warns you, but allows you to continue using it. The Mark property of the next door you place will then be assigned the next highest unused number. |
Phasing | |
Phase Created | Specifies the phase when this instance was created. |
Phase Demolished | Specifies the phase when this instance was demolished. |
Other | |
Head Height | Specifies the height of the top of the instance in relation to the level on which the instance is placed. Changing this value does not change the instance size. |
