My spies tell me that the boys (and girls) back in the Bentley Bat Cave are ramping up to replace a lot of the parametric content previously based on PCS with new cool stuff based on the new Parametric Solids, Perforators, Named Presentations and Placement Points. Update 8?

It would good to get the doors right this time.

1. Perforators should include a gap between the door frame and structural opening in the wall.

2. Structural opening width and height should be an active parameter. The door leaf should be derived from the s/o dim minus the frame / gap dims. If this can be bi-directional, even better.

3. Clear width: needs to be minus door leaf thickness and ironmongery.

4. ??

Hopefully, the standard generic door parameters will follow some UK industry norms and not hand-me-downs adapted from the US dataset?

Including the jamb / frame details:

Ditto for the timber doors:
