Anonymous

Hi to all,
I need a corner sliding door (I know it's crazy, but it's my client's wish) and the design is with a pocket version, but I can live with out the pocket version.
Does anybody know how to make one or if it's posible that somebody has something similar?
Thanks to all.

we do these doors aall the time.. but im yet to find somethign for AC.
iv just been "fudging" it with 2 seperate doors meeting in the corners and modding the ends of the walls so it looks right.

if u find something chuck it in the depository.

Thanks Genos, it looks like to do something like that, do you have any problems with the end walls in the corner?
I wish there would be a special door or a way to create one.

heres what im doing..
1 puting the 2 doors in
2 moving them to the outside corner
3 puting a white cover fill over teh frame in the corner (display order - bring to front) to hide the frame in plan.

in elevation it looks close enough to right for what were doing.. only place its a slight problem is the schedules.. where we just have to note it as "left part of corner stacker" and "right part of corner stacker".
im also noting on the elevation and 3d doc's that theres "no post to corner stacker" etc..

Hi Genos,
This is what I did and looks it works, I downloaded from the depositary the doors and windows from Dave Sanders and used one of his pocket doors, modified most of the parameters, I had some problems with trims, but it looks like it works fine in 2d and 3d, I haven't try it on schedules, but I think I have the solution, what do you think?

This is great. Just the fix I've been looking for. Just one question, where is the depository?

Long gone I am afraid.
We now have BIMcomponents.
You can search directly from the object/door/window settings dialogue.

Or go to the 'Useful links' at the top of this forum.
