In this lesson, you create a custom door family based on the definition of a flush exterior door. After youcreate the door leaf as an extrusion, you create new door types based on size and assign parameters

respectively.

You also learn how to constrain the door design by adding labelled dimensions to specify values for the doorwidth, height, and thickness.
