Now go to Create>Extrusion and sketch outline of One panel of the door also make sure the boundary lines are locked with the reference Planes, Now give Offset of 50mm and create sketch and complete the extrusion
Now go to Ref. Plan view and make sure the extrusion is locked with correct reference planes,Flex to cross check

In your 3D view you might see existing Frame select and delete it
Now go to Exterior View in your Project Browser and select opening Cut and Edit sketch
Make when you create Arc to lock the sketch Lines with the reference plane


Once you have created one Extrusion use mirror Tool to duplicate it
Now create other Reference planes Equal in distance both in exterior view and Ref. Plan and dimension them, we will be using these to create Mullions Extrusions.Use the vertical ones to create vertical mullions Extrusions

After you have Created vertical Mullions make sure in Ref. plan the extrusion is locked with reference Planes flex the parameters to make sure they are working correctly. Similarly Create horizontal Mullions Extrusions on both the sides Remember to lock the extrusion with reference planes and flex to check whether they are working or not.

Now as we created the extrusions for mullions we will create Create Extrusions for Glass panels, trace the internal Boundary of door panel and make sure to align and lock it. create new extrusion or mirror sketch for the other panel.(Refer Note- Mirroring might not flex/work correctly as the sketch lines won't be locked with reference planes


Now select both of the Glass Panels and change the Subcategory to Glass


Now we will create 3 different types for our Door family
