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.

Rough Height, Rough Width	Type parameters for standard doors. Opening dimensions within the hosted wall for the doors to be fitted into. Curtain panel doors do not come with usable Rough Height or Rough Width parameters (this is a Revit system feature and cannot be changed)
Height, Width	Type parameters for standard doors. Instance parameters for curtain panel doors. These parameters report the Rough Height and Rough Width (as above) to allow for consistency across both standard and curtain panel doors (a necessity for scheduling).
Panel Width	Type parameter for standard doors. The main panel width for standard doors. For curtain panel doors this is an instanced reporting parameter which gets its value from the width of the curtain panel in the project.
Secondary Panel Width	Type parameter for double doors (including Slider 1+1) The secondary panel width for standard doors. For curtain panel doors this is an instanced reporting parameter which gets its value from the width of the curtain panel in the project.
Non Equal Primary Panel Width	Type parameter for double curtain panel doors. If type parameter “Equal Panels” is unticked, “Panel Width” equals this value and “Secondary Panel Width” is dependent on the curtain panel width.
Equal Panels	Type parameter for double curtain panel doors. If this parameter is ticked, “Panel Width” and Secondary Width” are equal.
Panel Height	Type parameter for all doors. For curtain panel doors this value is dependent on the curtain panel height.
Panel specific parameters	Family wide parameters. Length parameters within the panel component that are setup within the component itself. If the parameter starts with the letters “a” to “e” followed by an underscore they will be changeable within the Door Factory. (ie: a_Vision Panel Height).
Structural Tolerance	Family wide parameter for where jambs occur. Gap between the jamb and the wall. The jamb width in the doors are modelled symbolically with the structural tolerance included. This means there is no gap (void) modelled for the structural tolerance. A symbolic line indicating the structural tolerance is shown in Fine level of detail.
Panel to Head Gap	Family wide parameter. Gap between the head of the panel and the jamb above (or wall above if no jamb).
Panel to Head Lap	Family wide parameter for sliding doors etc Lap of the panel over the jamb above (or wall above if no jamb)
Panel to Doorstop Gap	Family wide parameter. Gap between the head of the panel and the jamb/wall above.
Panel to Base Gap	Family wide parameter. Gap between the base of the panel and the jamb/wall/ floor below. This doesn’t include the “Panel Undercut”.
Panel Undercut	Instance parameter. Additional gap under door, commonly used for ventilation purposes.
Panel to Jamb Gap(s)	Family wide parameter. Gap between the side of the panel and the adjacent jamb.
Panel to Wall Gap(s)	Family wide parameter for sliding doors as above but where “no jambs” has been selected.
Panel to Jamb Lap(s)	Family wide parameter for sliding doors etc. Lap of the panel over the adjacent jamb.
Panel to Wall Lap(s)	Family wide parameter for sliding doors as above but where “no jambs” has been selected. Lap of the panel over the adjacent jamb.
Panel to Panel Gap	Family wide parameter Gap between panels where more than one panel exists.
Panel to Panel Lap	Family wide parameter for sliding doors. Lap of a panel over an adjacent panel.
Panel to Panel Offset	Family wide parameter for sliding doors. Offset distance between one panel and an adjacent panel
