Creating a stacker/sliding door

[Divegod]

How do I create a, 3 or more door, stacker/sliding door that opens left to right or right to left, not one that is fixed in the middle and slides?

I've tried various methods but can't quite crack it. Using  VW 2016 Architect.

Thanks in advance.

In the Door Settings, If you choose Slider( or Complex Swing) as the Configuration, you'll see a new field called Operation is enabled. Check out the available 3 and 4 part doors in the Pulldown Menu. Beyond that, there are easy (but perhaps time-consuming) methods to model just about whatever you can think of (eg: I did a pretty complicated multi-panel sectional this way). Let us know if you want further guidance.

Thanks Peter

I've just tried this and it kind of works, well, it gives a door which has three doors all in line, but not a sliding type that I'm after. I would've thought VW's would of had an easy solution for this as these types of doors are fairly common. I mean, having the central panel fixed and opening doors either end is more a traditional wardrobe feature.

I don't use the door tool much as I use the Win/Door tool which has different settings and I didn't see Operations on that tool.

From another thread on this topic, following on Peter's reply, if you have SketchUp you can use NanaWall's plugin to create the multi-panel door and then import that into Vw as your custom door geometry.

The next level of intensity: Use the Door Plugin to create a Cased Opening; then create the doors and put them into the opening. Then select the opening and doors and Create Symbol.
