    Multi leafed folding doors - think NANA

    I was shown in Archicad where they can set their bi-fold doors to have more than 2 (bi) panels and each side is separately editable. This would come in handy for door walls such as NANA doors and would allow us to show them in plan better than say drawing them in on a doorway. Anyone have symbols for these NANA door walls? And yes I have a view project that needs at least one of these.

    Check out David Michael's symbols at ChiefTutor.com, he has some there. They are NANO DOORS not NANA DOORS, since Glenn Woodward is checking my spelling, I have the right to correct your spelling..... and count yourself lucky that it is not Joe Carrick check your spelling AND grammer........ the spelling is for you GWWKAE.

    Speaking of spelling and grammar we should stop using pendant (noun) when referring to that particular light. It should be pendent (adjectve).

    Sorry Jintu, you're mistaken. Both words can be either a noun or an adjective

    Does anyone have a triple folding door that would work in X2 that they could share? The Chief Experts ones referenced above are saved as X3 and I can't find one in Sketchup warehouse. Something like this 8ft wide triple glass panel is very popular over here: http://www.diy.com/nav/build/doors-w...405mm-10798408

    Still on X2... but lots of work on, so maybe not for too much longer...

    Thx.

    Andy,

    these are fairly simple to make yourself.

    Either use existing doors or follow this link:

    http://www.chiefarchitect.com/suppor...faqNumber=1808

    I make these kind of doors as symbols (as opposed to doors) and then create a bifold stack or sliding stack as required:

    I can give you a set of these doors, but you may notice they have custom muntins which may not suit what you need.

    I've heard of, and used, Nana (http://www.nanawall.com/) but Nano is a new one to me.
    Scott, are they really small ?
    Does Robin Williams make them ?
