Commercial Automatic sliding glass doors

[VWLP]

I need to add automatic sliding glass doors (see reference photo) for a retail project. After reviewing the door options and symbols in Vectorworks, there does not seem to be a solution for for this. The slider seems to be the closest option, but the settings do not seem to allow that type of door. Any suggestions?

You can create a custom symbol, with all the geometric specific to the configuration you are looking for and then use the "Use Symbol Geometry" option in the Door plugin object to insert it.

Jeffrey, thank you for the tip. That will definitely work well for situations when we need to create standard doors.

However, I was hoping to be able to easily adjust the doors quickly. We have a situation where we're doing a lot of volume with various sizes of existing doors. Is there a solution or way to modify the existing door options? I'm surprised Vectorworks does not come loaded with a door option like this.

We have a slider, but not the XX configuration you are looking for. This would be a good addition to the tool.

Good day Jeffrey, almost 10 years have passed since this post in the forum, and the standard element with automatic sliding doors in the library has not appeared.
