Sliding Door WITHOUT a fixed panel attached

Hi All,
I'm on the search for a sliding door in AC 19 that allows you to have 1(or more) sliding panels without needing a fixed panel. This would allow me to have a concealed bank of doors hidden behind walls + a residential lift door

Search for a 'pocket' door in your library or in BIMComponents.

I hadn't actually thought about pocket door. But after a quick look, I'm restricted to 1 panel and the double door splits the panel
BIMComponents? Do you mean the IFC Items?

I am not sure if there is an option to slide 2 panels one way.
The USA double door says it is 'double or converging'.
I finally downloaded it but can't see an option to slide both panels in the same direction.

You can search the on-line BIMComponents portal (see image) through the object (door) settings dialogue.
You may just get other versions of what you have in the library but sometimes something new pops up.
I am getting an error when I try to download this way but you can go to the website and download from there ... https://bimcomponents.com/Search/pocket

It is very slow to download though.

Thanks Barry. Yes I've had errors with downloading it via object settings dialog box as well. Do you or anyone know if we can have more than 1 door panel for an 'Exterior Sliding Door 19'?
