How to change direction of a surface slider

Archie06 — Tue, 26 May 2026 15:16:13 GMT

Can someone please tell me how to change the direction of a surface slider?

I want the two center panels to be opening away from each other.

I am really struggling with the CI tools windows and doors. I find them to be needlessly and overly complicated. There seems to be a thousand options for any conceivable configuration, but something as simple as changing the direction of a slider I cannot figure out. I'm sure it's a simple fix but I've spent an embarrassing amount of time on this and cannot find the solution.

Thank you

Operating system used: Windows

Is this not just a symbolic issue with the arrows showing direction to close rather than open? Is the 2D opening width set to zero? I remember one door, not CI, that was showed direction to closed if it was shown slightly open...

In the model view options I have the 'show doors/windows to shut' option activated. Unless there is somewhere else to control this option?

I do not use the CI doors or windows, so I have no clue, but that does sound like an option that may change the representation. Have you tried having it disabled?
