Face Rectangle ​

This example cuts a round-top lite through a 36″ wide door: a 22″ × 36″ FaceRectangle whose two top corners have radii of half its width, making a semicircle.

The Feature Group's structure:

  • Rectangle Round Top Lite (FeatureGroup × 1)
    • Lite Cutout (FaceRectangle, Face)

The Feature Group ​

  • Coordinate References: L (length) from the Top, W (width) from the Lock edge, and T (thickness) from the Hinge Pivot Face.
  • Locations: one location, 6″ from the top. This is where the top of the lite starts.

Lite Cutout ​

The Lite Cutout is a FaceRectangle on the Face.

PropertyExpressionValueWhy
WLocation$Door.Width/218Centers the lite across the door's width
LLocationLength/224Puts the top of the lite at the group's location: 6 + 36 / 2 = 24
DepthClosestToRef$Door.Thickness1.75Cuts all the way through
DepthFurthestFromRef0.00
Length3636Height of the lite
Width2222Width of the lite
Radius1, Radius3Width/211The two top corners, which together make the semicircle
Radius2, Radius40.250.25The two bottom corners

Because the expressions use $Door.Width, Length, and Width, the lite stays centered with a true semicircular top if you change the door or lite size.
