Do you have a picture of what you want?

I would probably just model it out of thin walls and maybe a beam for a head track.

Mary:

One option is to place a wall the same size as the shower door (base of the wall on the upper tub edge) then place a sliding door into that wall and adjust its parameters to mimic a sliding tub/shower door.

Thanks, Stuart... I've been playing around with skinny walls and sliding doors. I'll try the beam... didn't get a picture of it... School's out for winter break so I'll be back in a couple of weeks for more fun!

The answer will depend on the level of detail you want in 2D and 3D. Making the door slightly smaller than the wall and setting the wall material to your frame/track material will give a simple solution. Using beams as Stuart suggested allows you a more detailed solution, particularly if those beams are Complex Profiles.
