Door Threshold - User Guide & Reference

The Door Threshold utility (Finishes category) Finishes floor threshold modeling utility. Automatically generates floor threshold elements (e.g. floor finishes or stone thresholds) directly under selected doors by reading door width, wall thickness, and door center references..

1. Overview & Key Capabilities

The Door Threshold tool is designed to improve workflow efficiency by automating standard tasks. Key capabilities include:

• Finishes floor threshold modeling utility.
• Automatically generates floor threshold elements (e.g.
• floor finishes or stone thresholds) directly under selected doors by reading door width, wall thickness, and door center references.

2. Detailed Step-by-Step Usage

Follow these instructions to use the tool in your active Revit session:

1. Open the Door Threshold tool.
2. Select one or more door instances in a plan view.
3. Configure threshold settings: floor type (e.g., marble threshold), depth extension, width extension, and level offsets.
4. Click Create Threshold to model finish floor slabs directly under the door frames.

Revit API Integration

• Key API Components: Room boundary extraction (SpatialElementBoundaryOptions set to finish face), profile offset calculations, and slab creation.
• Transaction Handling: All modifications are packaged into a single Revit API transaction. If any error occurs, the changes are rolled back automatically to preserve model integrity.

[!TIP] Best Practice Tip: Use room boundary finishes offsets to automatically account for baseboards and plastering thickness in room finish floor slabs.
