Sliding / Folding door to follow curve

Andre_Steynberg — Wed, 24 May 2023 06:11:54 GMT

Hi all

as per the title I'm trying to have my folding door follow the curve of a curved wall.
I can add the door to the curved wall alright but the door's path does not curve.

Pretty sure there was an option to do this but for the life of me I cant find it or I'm confused lol

Hello,

I have try to create my own curved door panel... Without success

I think you had to find the curved window into your AC library
Then find into the 2D/3D scripts the lines which manage the curved integration
Finaly create your own door by modifying the pocket door 2D/3D scripts

Or

Find an ready made object that I have not find

Or

Use a Patch to modify your 2D illustration
And model your door panel with morph tool

Thanks for your reply Christophe, going to to try the patch / morph method
Its just a simple frameless glass door so should be simple enough

You can also choose not to have a door panel while keeping the frame
