Hi all,
I have a question regarding doors and their masonry openings. At our office, we typically show a 2" frame for a door in any wall type and if the door occurs in a concrete/masonry wall, we add a 1/4" on each side. If it's a 3'-0 x 7'-0 door in a CMU wall, the rough opening would then be 3'4-1/2 x 7'2-1/4.
I was thinking that family-wise, the door is the same and it's just the host (stud wall vs masonry wall) that's changing, so perhaps the 1/4" dimension on each side is achieved by an instance parameter. (I'm a newbie in the profession itself so if I'm completely off, let me know
)
How do people handle this in Revit?
Cheers!
