Use this procedure to create a profile of a door with a void for glass to receive muntins. This is the first step for adding muntins to door styles that do not have glass.
The profile is made up of concentric, closed polylines. The outer polyline, or ring, becomes the door shape, and the inner polyline becomes the void for the glass. You can create multiple voids by adding more inner polylines. Voids for glazing must be entirely within the polyline representing the door shape. The polylines are proportional in size and shape to each other and also to the individual doors created from the door style.
You can draw these polylines anywhere in the drawing and use any convenient scale relative to your final door and glass size. One method for sizing the polylines relative to the door is to draw them by snapping to an existing door, and then move them to the side.
Concentric closed polylines for a door profile
- Draw concentric, closed polylines representing the door and the glass that receives the muntin pattern.
- Select the polylines, right-click, and click Convert To
Profile Definition. - Select the outermost polyline.
- Enter a (Add ring).
- Select an inner polyline.
- Repeat steps 3 and 4 as needed to add more voids to the profile.
- Specify the insertion point of the profile.
- Enter n (New), enter a name for the profile, and click OK.
