bifold doors

[Cadplan Architecture]

One for Jim really. We were really hoping that 2016 SP1 would at last have the custom option for doors in settings so that we can have more options for bifold doors e.g. an uneven number of leaves. When will this happen Jim? Thanks

It was not among the listed changes for 2016, and it's extremely rare to have completely new functionality added in a Service Pack. On occasion things like interoperability features will be added that way (DWG compatibility, IFC export updates, etc) but not new functions of tools or commands.

Unfortunately I do not have any dates for when something like that would be added, official or unofficial.

Thanks Jim, it's been requested for several years though. I really hope that it will be added soon.

Unfortunately just because something was requested frequently or for long periods of time does not ensure that it will be included. It depends on a much larger list of factors, including a lot of localization concerns and things outside of my circle of knowledge.

I'd bet that if someone were really good at Marionette (hint, hint Vectorworks, Inc.) they could create their own custom bifold door PIO with an uneven number of leaves.

Those of us who have WinDoor can draw folding doors with uneven numbers of leaves.

In the OIP I can choose to have up to 9 leaves on the left and up to 9 on the right, in any combination.

So it can be done, someone just needs to talk to Julian Carr .....................
