Arched Pocket Door

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.

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.

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

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

MacBook Pro, Sonoma: 2.6 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7, Intel 16GB mem,
Archicad Solo 26 and 27 (in testing mode)

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.
