To Change the Location of a Freestanding Door

Use this procedure to relocate a freestanding door by changing the coordinate values of its insertion point. The door also has an orientation with respect to the WCS or the current UCS. For example, if the top and bottom of the door are parallel to the XY plane, its normal is parallel to the Z axis. You can change the orientation of the door by aligning its normal with another axis. You can also rotate the door on its plane by changing the rotation angle.

  1. Double-click the door you want to move.
  2. On the Properties palette, expand Basic Location, and click next to Additional Information.
  3. In the Location dialog box, specify the door’s location:
    If you want to… Then…
    relocate the door enter new coordinate values under Insertion Point.
    locate the door on the XY plane make the normal of the door parallel to the Z axis: under Normal, enter 1 for Z, and enter 0 for X and Y.
    locate the door on the YZ plane make the normal of the door parallel to the X axis: under Normal, enter 1 for X and enter 0 for Y and Z.
    locate the door on the XZ plane make the normal of the door parallel to the Y axis: under Normal, enter 1 for Y, and enter 0 for X and Z.
    change the rotation of the door enter a new value for Rotation Angle.
  4. Click OK.
