Murphy Bed Symbol

[tcook77]

Does anyone have a murphy bed symbol or some call it hide-away-bed symbol?

I would use a combination of cabinets and the "Matress" version symbol for the size bed you want. That is if you want to show the bed in the down position in render views. You can select the bed symbol and change it to a dashed line for plan views if you like.

If you want the bed in the up position in render views then you just need to add the cabinet and use a dashed line/polyline to indicate the size of the bed in the down position for plan views.

Once you have what you want you can block and save as a "Architectural Block" (version 10).

If you really want a symbol, you can create what you want in a new plan, open a 3D render view, export a 3D dwg file and use that to create you own custom symbol.
