0 cberg Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 (edited) This is what comes to mind when I think of bi-fold doors. If so, you can do this in VW.... Are you thinking of something different? Edited August 12, 2020 by cberg Quote Link to comment

0 rDesign Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Here’s an existing wishlist request for this dating from 2017. I’d recommend going over to that thread to upvote it if you haven’t already. 3 Quote Link to comment

I made this with up to 4 panels. When I want a special Door in VW and it does not work, I try with the Window PIO. Or vice versa. 5 Quote Link to comment
0 neal-2002 Posted August 24, 2020 Author Share Posted August 24, 2020 I see no one from Vectorworks has commented on this....but they have read it.... so I’m guessing we’re still going to be waiting around for this one...disappointing yet again 🤨👎 Quote Link to comment

More than 4 panels is the issue as they’re usually bigger doors than 4m wide and not always opening with 2 panels each side.... 1 Quote Link to comment
0 neal-2002 Posted September 19, 2020 Author Share Posted September 19, 2020 Well, 2021 has updated the door situations but....still no bifold exterior door patterns or greater than 4 panels... only saving grace is they’ve added more panels (more than 4) to the sliding doors...!!!🎉🎉 2 Quote Link to comment
0 FBernardo Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I'm yet another one wishing for more panels in the BI-Fold option as there is now on the sliding doors! 1 Quote Link to comment

0 zoomer Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 No, I think that will work up to 4 panels only. Haven't looked at VW 2021 so far, if there were any improvements beside sliding doors. Quote Link to comment

0 chilternGD Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Also hoping for an odd number option within bifolds selection. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
Question

In this day and age where every client wants bi fold doors In their houses or extensions -
why do we stilll not have bi fold doors in Vectorworks??!!
So for 2021 - bi fold doors and maybe just sort out the following and I might reconsider my VSS...
section open gl rendering issue where it render the elevation in viewport (render elevation view /from behind the section line)
artistic rendering styles with lines working As they should in panoramic images without having to do a workaround.
vss rendering panoramic lighting correctly now??
dont think it’s too much to be asking for really..
