Hey All,
Anyone got any good techniques for modeling thresholds? Seems like it’d make sense having it be a part of the door, but I’m not sure how to manage cutting into the stemwall/slab/subfloor.
OK, I’ve got an answer for the foundation intersection, and it’s to use an interference (in hindsight, fairly obvious), for anyone else following along.
But using an interference with the slab seems to goof things up. The door disappears. Any guesses?
Hi @Clayton_Muhleman can you share the objects involved in this issue? perhaps there is some sort of boolean problem we can fix.
Here’s a DB link to a file with the relevant objects.
If you add the door as an interference with the adjacent slabs to cut out the flooring, the door disappears. Since the door threshold will need to cut into the flooring, which will otherwise run underneath the sheetrock, I’ll need to find some way of doing this.
As always, thanks for your help!
Hi @Clayton_Muhleman thanks for the file. I’ve tried to add the door as an interference for the slab, and the door doesn’t disappear, but create a weird gap on the slab:
We will revise this.
What I’ve noticed though is that detaching the door from the wall, the door disappears. And this is probably related to what you are experiencing. The door doesn’t disappear, in fact. The problem is that the door switches the host, and takes the slab instead of the wall. Since this is a door created from a Grasshopper Style, the geometry is not properly oriented to the slab, and it is not possible to tell it to do not accept slabs as hosts.
I’ll let you know when we find a solution for this.
