FiGuRE 5.3 The thresholds with their dimensions
As you can see in Figure 5.3, the front threshold is 7 ′ -6 ″ (2286 mm) wide, extend-
ing 3 ″ (76 mm) past the doorway on each side. You can draw a line from the endpoint
of one of the jamb lines down 3 ″ (76 mm) and then draw the perimeter of the thresh-
old. Here's how you do it:
1. With AutoCAD running, open your cabin drawing (last saved as
04A-FPLAY6.dwg ), and use the ZOOM command options to achieve a
view similar to Figure 5.4. The ile is also available from this topic's
web page at www.sybex.com/go/autocad2011ner .
