Door and Large Opening Management

Configure doors and large openings with v7.0 AI-powered opening optimization, structural validation, and automated frame coordination.

v7.0 Enhancements¶

New Features:

? AI opening placement (optimal location suggestions)
? Real-time structural validation (lintel capacity checks)
? Automated frame coordination (door schedule integration)
? Conflict detection (interference with rebar/embeds)
? Code compliance checking (ADA, egress requirements)

Typical Workflow (v7.0)¶

1. User adds door to 12'×10' panel
2. Opens dl_dlg, enters: 3'×7' door
3. v7.0 AI validates:
   ? Opening size: OK (within panel bounds)
   ? Lintel capacity: OK (adequate for 3' span)
   ??  WARNING: Door 18" from panel edge (recommend 24")
   ? ADA compliance: 36" min width met
   ??  Conflicts with rebar #5 @ 6" from left
4. AI suggests: "Move opening 6" right, clears all conflicts"
5. User accepts, opening relocated automatically
6. Frame schedule updated with door specs

Opening Types¶

Door Categories:

Personnel door (3’×7’, single/double)
Overhead door (8’×10’, vehicle access)
Service door (4’×8’, equipment)
Storefront (8’×10’, commercial)
Custom (any size)

AI Size Suggestions:

Building type: Office
AI recommends:
- Main entrance: 6'×8' (double door)
- Interior: 3'×7' (single door)
- Service: 3'×7' (rear access)
- ADA compliant: All meet 32" clear width

Building type: Warehouse
AI recommends:
- Overhead: 12'×14' (truck access)
- Personnel: 3'×7' (standard)

Structural Validation (v7.0)¶

Real-Time Checks:

As opening sized/positioned:

Lintel Check:
Span: 3'-0"
Load above: 4' × 100 PSF = 400 PLF
Required: 2-#4 bars minimum
Provided: 2-#5 bars ? OK (SF = 2.1)

Edge Distance:
Left: 18" ??  (recommend 24")
Right: 114" ? OK
Top: 36" ? OK
Bottom: 0" (at grade) ? OK

Pier Width (between openings):
Not applicable (single opening) ?

Status: PASS with 1 warning

Frame Coordination¶

Automatic Schedule Update:

Door added to panel P-105
Frame: Hollow metal frame, 3'-0" × 7'-0"
Hardware: Lockset, closer, hinges
Finish: Paint grade

Schedule entry created:
| Panel | Mark | Size  | Frame Type | Hardware |
|-------|------|-------|------------|----------|
| P-105 | D-1  | 3×7   | HM         | Standard |

Frame supplier notified automatically
Delivery coordinated with panel

Conflict Detection (v7.0)¶

AI Scans For:

Rebar conflicts:
??  Vertical bars #5 @ 12" o.c.
   Opening interferes with bar at 36"
   Solution: Relocate bar OR move opening

Embed conflicts:
??  Lift insert at 24" from left
   Opening 6" away - OK ?
   
Weld plate conflicts:
? No conflicts detected

Utility conflicts:
??  Electrical conduit planned in wall
   Verify coordination with electrical
   
AI provides solutions for all conflicts!

Code Compliance (v7.0)¶

ADA Requirements:

Minimum clear width: 32" (3'-0" door = 36" opening ?)
Maximum threshold: 1/2" ?
Maneuvering clearance: 60" × 60" ?
Hardware height: 48" max ?

Status: ADA COMPLIANT ?

Egress Requirements:

Minimum door width: 32" ?
Minimum height: 6'-8" (7'-0" provided ?)
Swing direction: Outward (if required) ??
Hardware: Panic hardware (if >50 occupants) ??

AI flags requirements based on occupancy type

Best Practices (v7.0)¶

Opening Placement:

? Use AI placement suggestions (optimized)
? Maintain 24” min edge distance
? Center openings when possible
? Clear conflicts before finalizing

Structural:

? Verify lintel capacity (real-time check)
? Add diagonal bars at corners (prevent cracking)
? Adequate pier width (2’-3’ min between openings)

Coordination:

? Update frame schedule immediately
? Coordinate with MEP (conduit, ducts)
? Verify ADA compliance (AI check)

Enhancement Status: ? v7.0 ENHANCED [5/38]
