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

so if it has to be a window, you can make it a door, use an entertainer door as the operation, with 2 leaves on each side. You can do the same thing using the c/i door, rather than the window inserting a door.
using c/i door instead of window:
or, using a window as a window (without door operation):
if you have jumped all those hoops, and it's just the arrows showing incorrectly, make sure all your window settings are "By MVO", then check this in your MVO settings (hinge vs opening setting):
as for the complexity and learning curve for cadimage; I get it... every time I get a c/i question, I need to get on a zoom to trouble shoot, since there are very few questions about anything cadimage that I can answer without having a convo and getting eyes on it.
BUT, the advantages of cadimage are that you are trading in 100+ library parts with thousands of different settings between them for 3 library parts with 1000s of settings. And for that exchange, you get a near infinite number of configurations you cant get from the out of the box doors and windows, even with the new global libraries.
I work for firms that do some crazy door operations/configurations. an 8 panel exterior pocketing door, for example... you can't really do that with anything out of the box. Someone else shared a c/i question about an awning with 2 surface sliding panels... not a single unit you can get out of the box.
there are always work-arounds and solutions, but cadimage covers a lot of bases for high end custom window packages. The out of the box doors/windows really only cover what you can get off the shelf at home depot, IMO. the limited configurations and level of detail with the OOTB libraries is one of the hardest points to overcome for high end residential firms.
