i am looking for a 4 unit slider that all units slide one way, not split into two pairs like the d4 sliding v15 library object. do not need it to pocket for this project but would be a great option. any ideas?

lec,
thanks, that helps a bit.
is it possible to add panels to the 3 panel slider where panels all go 1 direction not to the center?
it will really be great when we have library parts have most instances of doors and windows used in us construction. along with nailing fins and relationships of jamb to rough openings are correct as default.
thanks!

1st: Don't know about adding panels, as I've not needed to, just went looking for post relating to your quest.

2nd: Being design/builder in the U.S. for 33yrs, I surely second that one!

still no other options? really need this part! i have tried using the 3 slider version and adding an opening to the open side. the 3door version does not open more than 3 ft.

Hi Tim,
I am guessing you are probably trying to do this without going 3rd party library but the CadImage Door & Window Builder can do this door as a 4 panel ( or any number ) slider or pocket. It more than pays for itself IMHO in just what you are experiencing now with lost time and frustration. This is not an Ad.

Cheers,
Gerald

gerald,
i had been holding out buying such a pricey ($475 d&wb only) add on for archicad for the past years while on subscription thinking maybe, just maybe, graphisoft would step up and provide increasing better library parts with each release. guess i have been incorrect in my thought process.
thanks for trying to ease my pain!

Hi Tim,
I'm wondering whether you had any luck finding a sliding stacking pocket door that stacks to one side?
Cheers
