# Door types

> What each doorType draws in plan, in elevation and in 3D.

`doorType` chooses how a [`Door`](https://docs.ploterr.com/floorkit/api/architecture/door) draws and builds. A saved door with no `doorType` is `WOOD`. The pictures show a 0.90 m door with `doorQuadrant` 1 and a swing of 90°.

Every swinging leaf has one arc in plan. The arc runs from the closed leaf to the leaf tip, over `swingAngleDegrees`: 0 is closed and draws no arc, 90 is square to the wall, 180 is flat against it. In an elevation, two mark lines meet at the hinge side of each leaf. The marks are dashed when the leaf opens away from you.

`WOOD`, `GLASS` and `OTHER` draw the same plan symbol. `GLASS` differs in 3D only.

## WOOD

![Plan of a WOOD door: one leaf and one arc](https://mintcdn.com/floorkit/yMscADgKHxSjSPcH/images/opening-types/door-wood.svg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=yMscADgKHxSjSPcH\&q=85\&s=8c39ef507d4c34a3ac29e3ee44df8ee9)

* Plan: one leaf and one swing arc.
* Elevation: two mark lines meet at the hinge jamb.
* 3D: one solid leaf.

## GLASS

![Plan of a GLASS door: one leaf and one arc](https://mintcdn.com/floorkit/yMscADgKHxSjSPcH/images/opening-types/door-glass.svg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=yMscADgKHxSjSPcH\&q=85\&s=092ebc46591e0f5bf33a08617776a8ae)

* Plan: one leaf and one swing arc, as `WOOD`.
* Elevation: two mark lines meet at the hinge jamb.
* 3D: a glass pane (part role `glazing`) in a 0.06 m leaf frame.

## DOUBLEDOOR

![Plan of a DOUBLEDOOR: two half leaves and two arcs](https://mintcdn.com/floorkit/yMscADgKHxSjSPcH/images/opening-types/door-doubledoor.svg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=yMscADgKHxSjSPcH\&q=85\&s=9cbff9dec7e77386ea90547af8448f21)

* Plan: two leaves of half the width, hinged at the two jambs, each with its own arc. They open to the same face.
* Elevation: two mark lines per leaf, each pair meeting at its own jamb.
* 3D: two leaves.

## SLIDING

![Plan of a SLIDING door: a closed leaf and an arrow](https://mintcdn.com/floorkit/yMscADgKHxSjSPcH/images/opening-types/door-sliding.svg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=yMscADgKHxSjSPcH\&q=85\&s=815d8cee9b59e6c0bb6e7c938113d065)

* Plan: a closed leaf on the face that `doorQuadrant` chooses, and an arrow toward the hinge-side jamb. No arc.
* Elevation: a horizontal arrow toward the hinge-side jamb. It is never dashed.
* 3D: one closed leaf on that face.

## FOLDING

![Plan of a FOLDING door: two half panels in a zigzag](https://mintcdn.com/floorkit/yMscADgKHxSjSPcH/images/opening-types/door-folding.svg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=yMscADgKHxSjSPcH\&q=85\&s=e98502a2e69de2165bcf9a501d18cbbb)

* Plan: two panels of half the width in a zigzag, folded by half the swing angle. The free end stays on the face line. No arc.
* Elevation: two mark lines per panel. The first panel hinges at the jamb, the second at the edge it shares with the first.
* 3D: the same two panels.

## DOUBLEACTION

![Plan of a DOUBLEACTION door: one leaf and an arc on each face](https://mintcdn.com/floorkit/yMscADgKHxSjSPcH/images/opening-types/door-doubleaction.svg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=yMscADgKHxSjSPcH\&q=85\&s=03f35ead2c10edf10c82e9bf5fa2ad09)

* Plan: one leaf at the swing angle, and one arc on each face.
* Elevation: two mark lines meet at the hinge jamb. They are never dashed: the leaf opens both ways.
* 3D: one leaf.

## OTHER

![Plan of an OTHER door: one leaf and one arc](https://mintcdn.com/floorkit/yMscADgKHxSjSPcH/images/opening-types/door-other.svg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=yMscADgKHxSjSPcH\&q=85\&s=81075a34d29b238787164c775bc6514f)

* Plan, elevation and 3D: as `WOOD`.

## Hinge and swing

`doorQuadrant` sets the hinge jamb and the face that the leaf opens to. Stand at the first point of the wall and look along the wall.

| `doorQuadrant` | Hinge | Opens to your |
| - | - | - |
| `1` | Wall-start jamb, at the smaller offset | Left |
| `2` | Wall-end jamb, at the larger offset | Left |
| `3` | Wall-start jamb | Right |
| `4` | Wall-end jamb | Right |

The inspector shows `doorQuadrant` as two fields, hinge side and swing side.
