Smart Door Editing

Is it possible to edit any of the smart doors that show glazing? Similar to editing a symbol? If not, then is it possible to add doors to the smart door browser? I'm looking for a residential door with multiple horizontal glazing (Modern style) and DCAD doesn't provide it within the program.

Thank you.

you can change the door to use a symbol, you might be looking for "Door Types/Wood Doors/3 Panel 30 Door"

Thanks for the reply. I've seen the 3 Panel 30 Door and I need/want a 7 Panel 30 Door if possible. I haven't figured out how to edit the amount of glazing or add new doors with more glazing to the manager. There are no options for sizing the glazing in the smart door menu.

If you have a suggestion for residential door CAD file download(s), then I'd appreciate the assist there too.

Thanks.

Sometimes SketchUp's 3d gallary might have one, but I could find with a quick search.
Sometimes the manufacture might have a sketchup image.
For that a quck polygon the size of door x thickness for height. Cut in the 7 voids. In the voids put similar sized polygons defined with glass material, z base/height so it is centered in door. Rotate up, bottom left I think has to be at 0,0,0. Save a symbol. Maybe 10 minutes.
I' sure others have better ways, than this axe approach to using the tools. :D
