Bi-fold Hangar Door

Steve Jepson — Wed, 24 May 2023 08:50:04 GMT

Does anyone have a bi-fold airplane hangar door they would like to share with me? Some other object that would work at least for 3d view?

I could make it from roofs but if there is a door like this already made it would be great.

Thanks

it can almost be done with just two awning windows in the same place

Not quite good enough. I need a real vertical bi-fold door

Obviously it can be done but i have nothing ready.
Have you considered using:
- an empty door opening
- two slanded walls?

Cadimage's Window tool has a horizontal bifold option, see below. Doesn't look perfect (at the fold) but might be worth a look?

OR, what about creating a door (vertical) that is the right size and shape, convert to morph and rotate. Place it in an empty opening?

You could even save the morph back as a door object.
It won't have adjustable parameters (other than the overall size) but it will still be a door.

Good idea. Thanks. The cadimage window to morph then, save as a door is the way to go for me.
