Find and Add a Door

4. Various types of doors appear, listed alphabetically, including bi-fold, exterior, French, glass, interior, pocket, sliding, and even door opening (a walk through space with no door).
   Tip: You can see a door’s default size as you hover over it. For best rendering results, pick a door close in size to your desired door.
5. Simply click to select a door and click on a wall to place the door. 
   Note: Make sure that the length of the door doesn't exceed the length of the wall. If the door is wider than the wall is long, the door can't be added to the wall.
