I currently have a folding door that slides in one corner. The problem is I do not wish to see the parts as they are folding, but all gathered, like I drew in the picture. It's only a matter of representation. Is there any way in which I can represent the door like this or do I need to draw it manually?
Thank you.

I moved this post to the Library parts section of the forum.
Does your object have a parameter to set the % opening of the door in 2D and/or 3D?
If not then you will have to draw what you want or edit the library part,
Depending on what the library part is (how it was made/who made it) will mean you may be able to edit just the 2D symbol view or you may have to edit the 2D script.
If you are not happy to do that then just manually draw what you want.
If you still need the door in 3D then you will need to place it in a short section of wall exactly the same length as the door then hide the layer in plan but make sure you can see it in 3D/elevations.

Are you using the "D1 Sliding Folding Multipanel" door?
Like Barry says:
Check the object parameters.

Thank you for both answers.
After the first answer, I found it simpler to draw the door. Then I saw the second answer. I downloaded and checked the D1 door. It does indeed what I wanted. But I don't think that all folding and sliding doors have an Opening width parameter, as this one does.
Thank you.
