Surface-mounted doors have a frame that is mounted to the wall on one side. Surface-mounted frames are typically used on thin walls or for special wall connections. In renovation projects, surface-mounted frames are often used to minimize the loss of clear opening width.

Information on handling doors in the early design phases is described in the article "Doors: General Information."
In this phase, surfaces are defined. Building physics properties are also added to the component.

Instructions
Depending on the content used, these required characteristics can vary; this also determines the modeling methodology (single-layer or hybrid). Accordingly, an opening function must be provided for the door; this is not the case with a single-layer modeling methodology.
The basic process of modeling an opening in the form of a door in ARCHICAD remains the same across the various design phases—and regardless of the type of door.
A door is always inserted into a wall that has already been modeled. When doing so, pay attention to its positioning on the ground floor, particularly the floor construction height. The library offers a selection of different objects for various door types, depending on their frame construction. A door is labeled using the marker available in the settings dialog.
Detailed instructions on doors can be found in the tutorials: under ARCHICAD Specifics > Building Elements > Openings - Door.
During this phase of the design process, additional building physics data is incorporated into the component.
This also includes information related to fire safety.
