Single French Door

Bryan K · 9 Mar 2008, 03:32

This is my first model. Pretty basic. I used a door handle I found in 3DW. I had a hard time getting it rotated. I'm still getting the hang of the rotation tool.

I was unable to bevel the inside edges. This is probably because of incorrect workflow. The same goes for the cross pieces.

I made this as I was unable to find (at least a suitable) one in 3DW. Another poster (sorry, forgot who) seems to be right about there being a lot of junk on 3DW.

Advice welcome!

(I'm not sure how to place the .skp file in this post)

this might help, but a bit crude and assumes you know how to use array's

do have a look at the numerous tutorials located here abouts

America is bad enough at giving strange names to things, but Texas is even worse.

I was under the impression that double doors with glazed panel like the one modeled
were all called French windows, as opposed to French doors. could be wrong, but have had this impression since i was a kid, which was a real long time ago

We say French window in Hungary, too, but only when it leads to a balcony or terrace.

This is what I think of as a French door set. In the UK French doors usually open out on to a garden or a balcony.

Hi all

In france we have a opening style who's named "ouvrant à la française" and there are different style to open a door or a window like sliding.
This one is ouvrant à la française

and this one who's named "ouverture coulissante en galandage"

This one slide inside the wall.

So "ouvrant à la française' it's a way to open a door or a window.

I think you understand what i mean with my little English

bye

In America, French door used to refer to a pair of fully glazed doors (according to 1974 Architecture Dictionary), whereas nowadays it's used to denote a single door, too. We usually refer to a glazed door without muntins as a full-lite door, though.
