Arched Pocket Door

noa_frank — Mon, 13 Jan 2025 17:49:23 GMT

For a project need to make a pocket door with an arched hole top ( like the one in the screenshot).

Of course there are no standard Archicad solutions, at least in the library we are using in the office ( Archicad 25 INT ).
Does anyone have an idea of how this could be done. It would be better if the element were a door and not an object.

Empty arched opening in the actual wall and a 2nd 0 mm thickness wall to host the sliding door (which will be rectangular anyway).

Use 3 slabs:

1/ Door

2/ Opening (with element Id Wallhol)

3/ Rectangle space for the door in the wall (with element id Wallniche).

Select all 3 and save is as a door (File/library and objects/save selection as/ door)

Place it in the wall.

Use projected with overhead for 2d display.

I wish archicad can update library with these items @archicad instead of us modeling these over and over

AC has always been able to do this, but you need to learn GDL.

if you only need a quick solution, this is the standard workaround.
