    Sliding cabinet doors are not available in Chief Architect. That is not to say that you couldn't create one yourself, but that involves a very deep understanding of the program (or another program such as Sketchup), of which I make no claim. Perhaps someone such as Joe Carrick can give you some better advice. Do you have an image that you can post that represents what you would like to create? If so, please post it and you may get better advice once you do that. Welcome to the forum.

    Best way would be to create a symbol of what the sliding door would look like, display it in 3D and use the "Convert to Symbol" to to add it to your Library as a Cabinet Door. You can then place this as a free standing element in your plan and position it on a Cabinet with an "Opening". As Curt said - a pic of what you want (maybe with some dims) would be helpful. I could then quickly make a symbol for you.

    I have built these using frameless carcases as the start, then a faceframed arrangement pocketscrews to the front, and the doors and their tracks go inside. This could be done in Chief with an open cab carcase, then a collection of shelves and partitions for the surround, and two freestanding door symbols, one in front of the other, lapping.

    Get a cup of coffee, and start your mouse moves, now.
