AntoineDeHon Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 Is there anyway to use the bi-parting doors show one door open and one door closed? Like most typical french doors - you usually have one door that is closed the majority of the time. Quote Link to comment
AntoineDeHon Posted November 4, 2003 Author Share Posted November 4, 2003 anyone? Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted November 4, 2003 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted November 4, 2003 Right now, you will have to install and use the "French Door 2" plug-in object using the Workspace Editor. This should do what you want. Quote Link to comment
Kevin Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 Robert; I do not see this as a solution to the problem. The french door V2 plugin set to "Swing Bi-part Single", puts the hinge on the astragal and not the jamb. The OIP needs a "Flip" button to allow the hinge to move to the jamb. This would then provide what is being asked. Quote Link to comment
AntoineDeHon Posted November 4, 2003 Author Share Posted November 4, 2003 Is there a download section for the plug-ins on the VW website? Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted November 4, 2003 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted November 4, 2003 These plugins ship with the program. You don't need to go to the website; you should be able to install them with the Workspace Editor command. Quote Link to comment
Kevin Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 Robert; Am I missing something here? The french door PIO does not produce a door as was requested in this thread. It will produce two doors with one closed, however the hinge is at the astragal. This is not a typical bi-parting french door where each hinge is at the jamb. Is there more than one french door PIO in VW9.5? Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted November 6, 2003 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted November 6, 2003 What I'd say to use then is the Sidelight functionality of the Door object to create the fixed panel. Quote Link to comment
Kevin Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 In concept this works, but it is still not a french door pair. It is a solid door with sidelight. In plan view it is inconsistent and in 3d view it is obvious. This would not work for a 3d model. For the french door PIO we need separate opening angle control for each door to allow one door open and one closed. For the sidelight PIO we need muntin control for the sidelight. There is currently no way to provide muntins in these windows. 1 Quote Link to comment
