Bi Fold Windows

[S A Harrison]

Hi, does anyone know of a Bi-fold window object for ArchiCad 18. I know I can use a bi-fold door but then how do I get it to appear in the window schedule?

If you can get the bifold door to look like the window you want, you could convert it to a morph and then create a window object from the morph. You would have to add a wallhole to the gdl script to cut the wall, but it should work.

Can you not schedule both doors and windows as windows based on ID numbers? You can with Cadimage doors and windows.

Thanks for the help. I've never used the morph tool but I'll give it a go. Using the bi-fold door & adjusting the schedules is also an option. Wouldn't it just be easier if ArchiCad had a bi-fold window object?

These are the options you have for any panel in a Cadimage window…

Jealous much?
