Hotel Entrance Doors by *LionkingCMSL on deviantART

Entrance doors for the Pullman Hotel.
This is just one set of double doors of many. They are very loosely based on the doors at Amtrak's 30th St. Station in Philadelphia. Each leaf is 3' wide by 7' tall.

Doors modeled in AutoCad 2000, Victoria by DAZ3D and posed in Poser Pro 2012. Rendered in Vue 10 Esprit

Make 'em 8 feet tall. and if you can 42" wide.

Taller is easy, wider means redoing the entire vestibule area and possibly the entire front wall. :=/

So?

It's easer to stretch pixels than it is to stretch metal, glass and gyp.board.

Yeah, if you are just changing a 2D drawing. When you have to change a 3D model ... Arrrggghhhhhh! :=/

Or marble or granite or... :)

I agree with Smrgol - the as spec'd the measurements being too narrow/short. Big structures need big doors to get big stuff in and out and look "impressive".

Also keep in mind you need to design in ADA compliant access on at least one pair of doors as well as ramps and so on: http://www.ada.gov/pubs/ada.htm, so your elevation should take that into considerations too.

There are likely fire code regulations that will influence the design as well.

My designs meet all the required codes, as far as I can tell. A 36" wide door exceeds ADA requirements.

I also picked up the ICC International Building Code 2012 Code Book. This puts me ahead of New Jersey, which is still using the 2009 version.

I'm trying to stay ahead of the code so very little will be need to be changed on my basic plan.
