This section relates to Sliding Doors. Please read first before proceeding.
Users can add dividers (called mullions) into the inserts of Sliding Doors. Mullions can be structural or decorative.
A Structural Mullion (Sliding Structural Mullion) is an extruded piece of metal that can be used to separate inserts in a door, which allows users to select different finish options above or below. It will be visible from the back of the door.  
| A Decorative Mullion (Horz or Vert Sliding Decorative Mullion) is an extruded piece of metal with adhesive on the back, which can be applied to the face of the door insert. This means they cannot be used to split inserts and are for aesthetic purposes only.   |
Mullions are placed in the sliding door Elevation view.
...
Mullions can be added from the Other part drop down in the part section of the Elevation ribbon toolbar. Select the desired option and left click to place on the sliding doors.
...
Once added, you can manually adjust the top/bottom or left/right offsets by changing the dimension manually. When adding a mullion, the program will automatically put users into Sliding Door view mode.
Structural mullions can also be added in the Properties [Sliding Doors] menu.
...
To move a mullion, double click on the mullion or the dimension.
To delete, right click on the mullion (it will turn yellow) and select Delete.
Users can change the material or finishes of individual inserts when using structural mullions, but not with decorative. As explained previously, this can be done by right clicking on the insert directly and selecting Properties [Insert].

| Info |

Remember, structural mullions |
add to both the front and back because they are dividing the insert. If |
wanting a decorative mullion to show in the back, make sure that the box for |
Back Decor |
Panels is checked/turned on |
in Properties [Sliding System] |
. |
This will replicate the same orientation as the front onto the back side. Disable, or uncheck, to only have decorative mullions on one side. This does not make any difference for structural as they are already run through to both sides. This is hard to see in the 3D view, so be mindful of this option when you are creating your sliding door systems.
This may default “on” for most locations. |
