To Add Prairie-Lights Muntins to a Door Style

Use this procedure to add prairie-9-lights or prairie-12-lights muntins to a door style that contains glass.

You add muntins by editing the display properties of the door style for a display representation, such as Model or Elevation, where you want the muntins to appear. You can add muntins to display representations individually. You can also add muntins to a single display representation and apply them to all display representations of that door style. You add the muntins block to glass components of the door style in display properties. Each muntins block becomes a display component of the door style.
