How to create arched doors including ARCHED FRAME

cocoloco — Mon, 13 Jan 2025 02:52:11 GMT

I am trying to create arched pocked doors. I created an arched doors/panel as well as door leaf. When I add pocket doors and add the custom leaf, it is arched but empty space around the arched leaf because it has square frame. I need the frame to be arched as well! How do I create actually arched pocket doors INCLUDING ARCHED FRAME?

Thank you

Operating system used: Mac Intel-based

The custom doorpanels are only for rectangular shapes.

You'll have to save the element as a door with the frame included.

Use a slab for the opening in the wall and give that slab the element id 'Wallhole'.

Select all elements and save them as a custom door.

The outside of the door must be on the bottom side.

Hi! almost. iI did as you said, it sort of did it but it is not not like... the best.

The frame that I used the clarification "wallhole" is just empty space, and I am unable to set up handle type.

Lastly, I forgot to say I need "pocket doors" .

Thank you again

Modelling slabs and saving as a door object, will not give you a parametric object like the regular door objects.

You will have no control of the door leaf or handle or most other settings.

But you will get as much detail as you can model.

Model the handle as well if you really want.

Or place a separate object.
