Sliding Door with bottom frame

[jakubc7]

I am once again trying to see if I can throw away my 3rd party windows and make do with AC defaults.

One major obstacle I encountered is that I cannot find a way (short of doing custom panels) to show a sliding door with a bottom frame as is often the case in Western Australia.

Threshold and Sill options are not able to replicate the affect.

I can get the desired result using a Window tool but 2d representation doesn't allow to show a correct symbol as you get with a door.

Does anyone else have this issue? I feel like I'm missing something very obvious!?

Hi,

6 years later, was there ever a solution to this with Archicad 25?

Thank you!

What is the issue with using the Threshold option?

[Barry Kelly]

The threshold has to be a little wider than the wall - can't even be the same width.

It certainly can't be less, so it can't match the width of the side frames as most aluminium frames do.

Hi, Barry.

Thanks for the response. This is what I've figured for the threshold. The best I could do to make it less visible is to have the overhang at 5mm. 

I do hope more track options will be available for future Archicad versions to cope up with modern design trends.

Regards,

Rather than track options, it would be better to be an extension of the Complex Profile Frame wish which is somewhere around here, but we all know how long some of those wishes have been around for...
