Jamb

This is where the user selects the type of jamb required. Some jamb types are not relevant for certain door actions selected in the previous tab and will not appear. (e.g. Sliding doors do not have an option for a rebated jamb).

Once a selection for the Action and Jamb has been made, and the user has moved onto another tab (Panel, Handle, Trim.. etc), the settings for the Action and Jamb are locked in and cannot be changed.

Jamb Tab Definitions

The following describes the parameter settings and values that can be set for the door within the Door Factory. All the parameters can be changed in Revit after the door has been created and loaded into the project. All parameters are classed as Family Wide Parameters, Type Parameters or Instance Parameters.

Jamb Depth Specified	Family wide parameter. The jamb width in the doors are modeled symbolically with the structural tolerance included. This means there is no gap (void) modeled for the structural tolerance. A symbolic line indicating the structural tolerance is shown in Fine level of detail.
Jamb Width	Family wide parameter. The jamb width in the doors are modeled symbolically with the structural tolerance included. This means there is no gap (void) modeled for the structural tolerance. A symbolic line indicating the structural tolerance is shown in Fine level of detail.
Jamb Head Width Specified	Family wide parameter. When parameter “Jamb Head Width to Match Jamb Width” is unticked, the jamb head width will equal this value.
Doorstop Width	Family wide parameter for rebated and stop jambs.
Doorstop Depth	Family wide parameter for stop jambs.
Doorstop Depth Centred on Jamb	Type parameter for doors with stop-jambs. When unticked, Doorstop depth equals Doorstop Depth Specified, when ticked, the depth depends on the jamb depth.
Jamb Depth to Match Wall Width	Instance parameter. When ticked, jamb depth matches the hosted wall thickness.
Alignments and Offsets	Instance parameter for curtain panel doors only. Manually input to allow jamb depth and alignments as per standard doors above.
