About this asset

This traditional exterior door trim surround is a Revit family featuring a classic header, fluted pilasters, and base blocks. The assembly comprises a formal entry surround designed for exterior residential applications. It features a decorative lintel header with a subtle dentil-style frieze detail, supported by vertical fluted pilasters. The base of each pilaster terminates in a square plinth block, providing a sturdy visual anchor. The proportions are balanced, reflecting a classic architectural style suitable for period-style homes or traditional new builds. The geometry is clean and precise, intended for use as a decorative casing component around a standard primary entrance door frame, adding depth and shadow lines to the building facade.

The download is a 410 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

In Revit, this component functions as a hosted family for door openings. Users should load the file into the project and align the trim with the exterior face of the door wall assembly. It is advisable to use the alignment tool to snap the inner edges to the door frame. Adjusting the visibility settings in the project browser ensures the trim appears correctly in both floor plan and elevation views, maintaining accurate documentation for construction detailing.

This trim is primarily used in residential projects, particularly for renovations or new builds aiming for a traditional or colonial aesthetic. It pairs effectively with panelled timber doors and classic facade materials like brick, weatherboard, or render. Architects and designers searching for exterior door casing, classic door surrounds, or entry architraves will find this useful for enhancing the street-facing elevation of a house. It is best applied during the design development and construction documentation phases to define the building character.
