Sliding aluminum doors with bottom track.. does this exist???

[And7777]

Am I missing something? But why does ArchiCAD still not provide a sliding external glass door without with a bottom track/frame? 

In most countries around the world it is standard that an aluminum framed glass door or even a timber framed glass sliding door has a bottom track. I am trying to use the doors provided in ArchiCAD without going to third party CAD doors. 

It seems an extremely basic option to provide a bottom track without having to trick the software with thresholds. Has anyone heard anything or discovered something I'm missing? 

Operating system used: Windows

I added a basic sill to a bifold by adding a new BLOCK and WALLNICHE to the 3D script of the top level object. You could possibly do the same if need be if you know some basic GDL.
