The attribute and attribute values of this network object type are shown in the list on the left, which consists of two coupled lists.

2.  On the list toolbar, in the Relations list box, click > Doors.

The list on the right contains attributes and attribute values of network objects, and/or base data allocated to the network object selected in the list on the left (Using coupled lists):

Long name Short name Description

Edge index

EdgeIdx

Position of elevator door as edge index of rectangle that defines the shaft. The edge indices 1 to 4 are counted counterclockwise. 1 = First edge modeled in the Network editor when the elevator was defined. If the elevator is created in the Network editor via shortcut menu command Add New Elevator, this is the bottom elevator wall.

Active levels

ActLvls

Number of levels on which the door opens. Select at least two levels. The Main landing level of the elevator group must be selected to which the elevator is assigned.

Avoid making the total of width and center offset greater than the width of the elevator wall with the door:

Center offset (horizontal)

CentOffset

Horizontal offset of the door’s center line to the cab wall’s center line [m]. In the Network editor, in the top view, negative values move the door to the left. In the Network editor, in the top view, positive values move the door to the right.

Width

Width

Entire door width [m]. With the door open this is the width of its opening. Default value 0.9 m, if permitted by the width of the wall.

Boarding delay type

BoardDelType

Boarding delay type to which the boarding delay function is assigned (Using the Boarding Delay function). It is used as basis to calculate the boarding delay. The pedestrian classes affected by the boarding delay are assigned to the boarding delay type.

Relative distance for dwelling

RelDistDwell

Preferred relative distance to the door for pedestrians staying in the cabin.

  • 0.0: at the door
  • 1.0: on the wall opposite the door: This can speed up their entry and exit, especially for larger elevators and many pedestrians.
