There are two settings with this package:
2.1. The language
When you click on a door, the attributes will be in the language of your choice: English or French.
If you wish to change this option:
- Go the User Created Standards list
- Click on the UCS called CH_1_Position Charniere
- In the public variables, select the Language you wish

2.2. The spacing between upper hinges
When you choose the option "2 Hinges Near Top", the distance between the two top hinges is controlled by a Hinge Material Schedule Parameter
To create or change the value:
- Go into your hinge material schedule
- Go to parameters
- Create (or edit) a parameter called CHAR_DOUBLE
- The value you enter for this parameter will determine the distance between the two top hinges
Using this set-up allows you to have a different distance value for each hinge
If you only use one type of hinge, or simply prefer to always use the same distance between upper hinges, you can avoid creating a parameter for each material schedule, and simple use a default value from the UCS.
