Use this to set options for the openings of the opening as a whole, and for the sidelight and transom (if used).

Opening Type

For each component of the opening, choose a type from the pop-up. (Available settings depend on the library part.)

Note: The Opening Type chosen here may limit the possibilities for the door’s Frame Style.

2D/3D Opening Angle

Optionally, for each component of the opening, set an opening angle in 2D and 3D display. (You can also edit the opening graphically, using the editable hotspots.)

Sidelight and Transom: Opening Direction

For the Sidelight and Transom, choose “Same as Leaf” or “Opposite to Leaf” from the pop-up to define the opening direction.

Sidelight and Transom: Opening Type and 3D Opening Angle/Distance

Use the pop-up lists to choose a type for the sidelights and transom. Enter an opening angle (or opening distance, for a sliding door) as needed.
