Need Pocket door

Eric Milberger · Tuesday

I need a sliding POCKET door - cannot find one and cannot modify the sliding door to the center of the wall

Operating system used: Windows 11

Karl is correct. I placed my pocket door in a 5 1/2" wall and adjusted the Reveal to Wall Face setting to 2 1/2". That looked good to me for the representation of a pocket door. It might take some time to get to know all the settings in the Pocket Door Selection Settings, but by making the necessary changes to the settings, it should produce a pretty good representation. As always, I'm happy to help in any way that I can. Good luck.

What version are you using?

In AC27 the library folder under Archicad Library 27/08 Openings 26/08 30 00 Specialty Doors & Frames 27/Sliding Doors 27... Has "D1 Pocket 27" and "D2 Pocket 27".

In AC28 the library folder under Object Library/08 Openings/08 30 00 Specialty Doors & Frames/Sliding Doors... Has "D1 Pocket" and "D2 Pocket".

And as a PS to Jeff's answer pointing you to the right place... remember that for the last 10 or so years (maybe longer?) the various library-centric tool Settings windows have had a Search function. Open the Door Settings dialog and enter "Pocket" in the top/search field...

Did you even try to follow Jeff's instructions? It's exactly where he says it is (in the USA library --- which is what you are presumably running - although you should preface every question to make sure people know that). See Screenshot from 27 USA:

I'd like you to do a comparison. Can you open the following folder...

C:\Program Files\GRAPHISOFT\Archicad 27\Archicad Library 27\... If you select the Object Library 27.lcf file and right click and select properties... Are you seeing the same file size as mine? See image below...

If you are, then you should be seeing the pocket door. If you have a different file size, you might need to reload Archicad. This is the best suggestion I can come up with... Good luck.

The picture above should be correct however when I open the template - this is what is delivered and it is not a pocket door.
