    Polyline Interaction

    Hello,
    been playing with Chief Architect X4 in preparation for the renovation
    of my new house and requests from two sisters and some friends who
    want me to aid them in redoing their homes and I am loving it.

    However there are some things that still stump me so will be posting various
    questions over the next few days and look forward to your help in becoming
    a better Chief user.

    Ok now to a question....

    I have designed a wardrobe with sliding doors and have used Polylines to get
    the desired effect I want and looks good when doors are closed but when I show doors open the polylines stay in the closed position and don't move with the doors.

    Do I have to edit the doors while open and move the polylines to them to get
    the effect or have I missed a something that will allow them to move with
    the doors?

    Pictures attached.

    Many thanks for any replies and sorry for the long ramble.

    DB,

    Not sure what you are looking for. If you use regular sliding doors and select show opwn option you will get CHief's default open position. IF you want a specific open look you will need to use polyline solids for doors and move them manually as they will not really be doors as far as the program is concerened. Am I answering your question??

    Yes thank you dgavin you have answered my question, if I want to show doors open
    then I have to move the polyline manually, it's as I thought but just wanted to check
    in case I was missing something.

    Many thanks....
