You can insert a variety of doors with point-and-click simplicity. Because doors are intelligent elements, they fit into walls and automatically become part of the wall. However, you can edit doors separately from the walls that contain them.

1. Select Insert > Doors or select the Building toolbar tab and click the Doors button.      
2. Select the Commercial Door folder in the catalog and then the Commercial Entry Door. Move the cursor onto the drawing screen area.
3. Right-click and select Center on Wall.
4. Place the cursor on the short vertical wall as indicated in the following diagram and left-click when it is centered on the wall.

5. Right-click and select Finish.
6. Select Insert > Windows, or select the Building toolbar tab and click the Windows icon.
