Lift- and Sliding Door urgently needed

[snow]

Hello all,

Does anyone know where I could get such one, with:

• the stem, like in the image
• and individuel adjustable dimensions for the profiles (like with general windows in archicad)

?

Hello snow,


I am not sure to understand your aim.
Are you able to share a front view picture ?

Hello…

meanwhile I've made (with a lot of effort) a custom element.



I used the Library Part Maker to get a satisfactory display in the ground floor plan.
I'm glad that there is a way to do such thing.

But aside of the work to create the element, it takes always a lot of time to change the size of such window… it is not really possible to edit it in the windows menu.

So I still would say: "A lift-and-sliding-door" with all its possible different opening schemes belongs to the basic equipment of a CAD-Programm…
…because it is almost the basic equipment for every single family home here.

Thanks about these informations. In France I have never seen this kind of "lift-and-sliding-door" but I agree that it would be very interesting to have such an object included in the Archicad library. Maybe you could make a request to graphisoft in the section dedicated to this use?

I don't know where such a section is. Do you know… or someone else?

Hi snow,
Infinite Openings could achieve the exact geometry of your configuration using its "Sliding Door" type and I could create a custom symbol for your "lift and slide".
If you subscribe to the tool I could create an actual "Lift and Slide" door type that moves as per real life scenario.
