I have a client that is requesting a (4) panel sliding Nana wall that will slide into a wall.  Has anyone created one?  This would be with a 4" exterior wall with a (4) panel slide by into a 10" wall with another 4" interior wall.  Trying to figure out the best way to create one.

I've created several different models for various projects. My only suggestion here is to ensure the client can afford it before you go overboard on the design. Richard's suggestion is the perfect way to start. Just draw some 2x4 walls to create the pocket they'd slide into.

Good morning,

 

I have the same issue with two clients. I'm assuming I have to do the wall first and then put the folding wall in afterwards.  I'm open to suggestions.

I'd suggest using a "Doorway" to start and placing a symbol from the library to show the door in its open position. Personal experience note: Do not waste too much time until you know the make and model and price!

      Displaying a door open in one view and closed in another
      By toucanskeleton
      The title basically describes it. Is there a way to display a door as open in certain views (i.e. an elevation view), but not in others (i.e. on the floor plan, or a different elevation view)? And, if I want it to display halfway open in 3D views, but not on the floor plan, is there a way to do that?

      Cad To Walls not recognizing imported cad blocks.
      By McCallOfTheWild
      Hello everyone
       
      New to the Chief forum. I'll get right to it... I recently got magic plan for an iPad I have to easily do a floor plan when on site (Have always used pencil and 11x17 paper). It has it's ups and downs, but for the need to know dimensions (I shoot with laser, and it auto populates) it's been great and has cut my sketching time in half. 
       
      I have learned that Magic Plan can export DXF files. I have been watching tutorials on YouTube, and have learned how to import DWF/DXF into Chief. Learned about layering and so forth. 
       
      Here's the problem. When I import to chief and get all my ducks in a row, and layer all I can, chief won't recognize the cad windows when I go into perspective view. chief thinks they're all door openings in the wall when I Cad To Walls. How do I fix this? Using Chief x10.
       
      Thanks in advance.

      How to make window casing different widths on either side
      By Nate_M
      Hello,
       
      I am working on an as built for a 1800's house. The door and window trim is 5 3/4" wide. My problem is that there a few instances where the door or window trim has been cut down to fit up against another wall. For example there's a window in one of the corners that is nearly up against the perpendicular wall. The trim on the left side of the window is 5 3/4" but the trim on the right side is around 3". 
       
      Is there a way to place the window further into the corner and cut off the trim? Can I make the trim on only side of the window a smaller width? This is a pretty common occurrence in our work and I would like to have a method of solving this issue.
       
      Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

      Panoramic Doors
      By jlcDesign
      Does anyone have any insight on either how to make or where to get the symbol for Panoramic Doors? They're like Nana Walls, only they open differently, with one hinged panel on the end and the rest of the panels pivoting and stacking against the hinged panel.

      Mulled Door Question
      By SNestor
      What causes Chief to reduce the width of a mulled door unit? 
       
      The images below show the before and after of mulling a door unit. The sidelights are "fixed door" units. Not sure that matters...but as you can see after mulling takes place the casing does not reach the baseboard.
