I don't think you can do this on grid if you want your doors to be equidistant from each other, but if you want to make a Y shape you can just make a 360 degree arch with wall thickness 16 or whatever and then use the planing tool and vertex tool to cut/raise brushes into doorways with frames. So long as you use a power of 2 for the arch size, it'll be on grid, albeit the 1u grid in parts.

Like Tyler said you can't do three entrances in an equidistant Y shape and keep it on grid, but a T shape or modified Y shape would work.

Here's some pictures of the process:

360 degree arch, make sure the number of sides is a power of two
