Sliding Door - Double Stacker plus awning window on fixed panel

Using Ci Tools Door & Window builder, is it possible to create a sliding door with three panels, two sliding and the third fixed panel having an awning window?

 

Operating system used: Mac Apple Silicon

yeah, you probably need to model it with a window, not a door... something like this:
(sorry if it's not exactly right, I only spent 3 min. tinkering...)

Thanks for that Patrick. Indeed, inserting surface sliding doors into the Ci Tools window tool was the ticket! I had to place the door into the wall somewhat inside out to position the sliders on the interior as they should be to avoid clashing with the outward opening awning. Then it was a matter of playing around with the frame sizes and interior trims to make it appear like there is a track under the sliding doors in plan view. Glad to finally have these represented correctly in the drawings.

I spent another 5 min... got you the exact configuration... although I'm not sure how the sliding windows open over an awning unit... but it is definitely doable:
