Well, since almost all my doors require a 12 mm (1/4") gap, I´ve made it a Type parameter - But in your case I´d go for an Instance Parameter (Which I probably also would, if I were to rebuild my own)

Hey another Darryl!! Welcome!

I'm a little off topic here, but wouldn't you want a 4" frame at the head of the door? So the opening is a masonry dimension for a 7'-0" door?

thanks for the replies! haha and hi darryl! I'm glad you have that "PRP" in your screen name or I wouldn't be able to use this plain old "darryl" screen name.

I spoke with one of the other guys in the firm that I work at and he said it would be best to just make all the doors have the 1/4" gap, so I made it a type parameter. It's better it worked out that way anyways since I was running into problems trying to use an instance parameter but also have that mixed with the rough width which is a type parameter. oops.

Chadwick, that's true now that i think about it. How do you guys handle that? Separate door type? Doors with all instance parameters (I read that another member on the forum uses this method)? Our firm is still relatively new to Revit so we aren't anywhere near doing anything complex like nested doors/frames in door families. Up until I changed the door families to show the frame, they were using the OOTB door families.

What I've done with our doors is add an instance parameter to the height of the frame head. See attached family.

Thanks for this, I was looking to get a good sample, before finishing my own door.
