Pocket doors will not display hardware - X6

[Gene Davis]

Anybody else have this issue? Cannot speak to earlier versions, as I never wanted to get this anal 3D-wise, but I cannot seem to get hardware to display in a pocket door.

Did Chief hard-code pocket doors to NOT accept hardware?

I built a little thing in Sketchup that I thought would look about right, a flush pull look, a match to the Ives pulls I have installed on many doors. But no matter which door slab I use, Chief library or my own, no matter what hardware I specify, mine or out-of-box Chief, nothing shows up.

What am I missing here.

What am I missing here.

Pocket doors have never had the ability to show any hardware since version 4. It is something they should fix (I am used to it not showing but it should show, shouldn't it?).
It should be made as an improper function or request for upgraded feature.

Got a solution. Install the flush pull in the door in Sketchup, and then save and import the .skp symbol, with its pull already there.

Put your pull on the L side of the door to make this work right, as shown in the overhead view of the .skp model.

Hey, Chief, fix this, will ya? Pocket doors need pulls, and while you are fixing it, add a couple of different kinds. One, the kind that wraps the edge of the slab, another, one that installs flush into the middle of the face of the stile. We know you cannot recess them flush into the door, but you can surely fake something.

The close view is FYI.
