Sliding Door Mullions

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. Open   Decorative mullions can be horizontal or vertical, while structural mullions are horizontal only.

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. Open This is not available for all sliding door vendors/profiles.

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.

Users can tell which one you’ve added by hovering over the inserts so they turn a selection color (blue or yellow) – If it is a structural mullion, users will see the insert is split. If it is decorative, the insert will appear fully intact.

To move a mullion, double click on the mullion or the dimension.

To delete, right click on the mullion (it will turn blue or 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].
