# New door and Part Detail

Last updated: October 26, 2026

Part Detail is the panel in Door Design where you set a door’s size, material, glass, handle and sections. The New door panel walks you through the same tabs step by step; for a selected door, the same fields are in Part Detail on the right.

> **Short answer** Press **Project › New door** on the ribbon. In the New door panel on the left, enter the model, material, height, width and quantity in the Size step; go on to the other steps with Next, or press **Add** right away. In the last step, **Add door** writes the door into the order.

## Adding a new door

1. Press Project › **New door** on the ribbon.
2. The tabs at the top of the New door panel are the steps: Size, Sloped, Arched, Glass, Handle, Tall, Drawer.
3. In each step, **Forward** goes to the next step and **Back** to the previous one; pressing a tab jumps to that step.
4. All steps are optional: you can press **Add** at any step.
5. In the last step, press **Add door**. While the panel is open, the preview shows the draft.

To change a selected door, press Library › **Part detail** on the ribbon; the same tabs open on the right.

## Handle and hinge

If “Assign hardware automatically by door” is on in Door Settings, new doors come with the default hinge and handle.

## Tall and Drawer

- **Tall door sections.** When Split door is on, you enter the Number of sections, Mid rail and, if you like, the section heights. The door is cut as one piece; the pattern is applied in each section at its own height.
- **Drawer set.** On a new door, “Add as drawer set” is turned on; in the Door heights (top to bottom) box you type sizes such as 150+300+300 or ratios such as 15+30+30. “Pattern as a set” continues the pattern across the front. The joint gap between them is the Drawer joint gap under Door Settings › Order. Split a set into separate doors with Split set.

> **Tip:** If a warning appears below the preview (a line that does not fit, a clipped groove), the details are in the Warnings section of Part Detail.
