I'm not sure what you mean exactly, but the Norwegian Hydro Building Systems, who I think are represented worldwide, have a folding aluminum glassed door called WICSLIDE 65FS. They have DWG drawings on their website, I think, but no GDL objects to my knowledge. Should you find one, please report back!

This type of door seems to be increasingly popular in residential as well as commercial applications. I hope that we might see a version in the standard library from Graphisoft ... maybe make this a wish item?

The Australian Essential Library that comes with Archicad 9 has a Panel Fold door
created by Darren Bell. So this isn't a standard library item for other countries?

Great, but how can I get either one of them? I got the international version and I don't see it. I would love to travel to Australia and New Zealand but i'ts quite a long trip east for a door

I'm not sure if i'm allowed to do this, but Door and Window Builder is available from our website:
www.cadimagetools.com
I think its quite a good tool, but then i would say that.
It will change your life, save your marriage, predict the future and allow you to leap tall buildings in a single bound. Also, you can draw neat-o doors and windows with it.

Alternatively, you could hit up your reseller to make you a custom door(if they do that).

In my opinion, Graphisoft should have every country version's standard library objects available on their web site to browse and download for licensed Archicad users of other countries.

GS does not become tired to tell us, that the localization (of the library) is the reason, that the users of some countries have to pay a higher price for AC than others. If it would be equal for all, why not the price? 😉

But you are right. It should be available for alll users. And some are yet. E.g. the US special library and older ones of the Swiss (?) at archimedia.
