Are you using a NANA wall system? Or similar....
For plan purposes - I might used 3 fixed panel windows...each sash slightly offest from the last.

I just priced a Nana system for a job. They run about $1000.00 a linear foot.

nope...that's not installed...that just the unit. I have one right now going in a project over a kitchen counter, it's 42" high and 122" wide - a little over $3600 for the unit delivered...then we have to install it....
JeldWen makes a door system like that now too - but it's not as good as the NanaWall.
I just drew it as a bi-fold door with glass panels....

I've never used JeldWen - just worked with people who have used both NANA wall and JeldWen and have told me that the NANA wall is far superior.

Oh...yeah, JeldWen has a library - but their folding door system is new this year and it's not in the library. I would be curious how they interpret it to make it a 2D plan symbol...

I know..those are some pretty helpful details. I've used those with our clients - I just want to be able to put them into my drawings.
They do have downloadable 2D CAD stuff
