Please update the gate object to include:
1. Pair of Swinging gates (similar to D2)
2. Allow custom HANDLES

Hello,

Thank you very much for sharing the wish!

May I ask which Gates object we are having here? In INT library, I couldn't find any Gate object from the Object tool, but we have the Garage doors in the Door tool. Is this correct what you mean here - Garage doors?

Looking forward to hearing from you!
Best regards,
Minh

Hi Minh, The garage door objects could do with a refresh as well. Large 6m x 4.5m rolling doors (metal and rubber), complete with hardware and structure please.

Hi Duane and Aaron,

Thank you very much for your help! I registered the request as DEF-5030. Hopefully, our Product Management team will consider implementing it in the near future.

Aaron, if I understand you correctly, what you need is something similar to Roll-up Door 24, but with metal/rubber sheets or panels, and with fully customized hardware and structure, is that correct?

Best regards,
Minh

Hey Minh, yes I think so. I’d be happy to send you some shop drawings to illustrate them more precisely. The are typically supported on a steel frame and the door rolls up into a drum. Clearance for the opening as well as all the hardware are usually critical.

Hi Aaron,

That would be much better! The clearer we are with the wish, the higher the chance it gets to be implemented in the future!
