Show single sliding door as fully open in 3d

[ChiefUserLars]

Dear community, greatings from Norway.

 

I use X13. I have the following challenge where I need some assistance:

 

Assume a straight interior wall drawn with absolutely no changes compared to standard, out of the box settings.

I place a sliding door on the wall. There is plenty of wall on each side of the door.

 

I now start setting properties for the sliding door:

In the interior Door Specification, General, I set percent open to 100%

In the Door Specification, Options, I set Door Panels to Custom, left=0, right=1

In the interior Door Specification, Options,  3D display is set to Show Open

 

At this point, I would expect the sliding door to show as if it is open in a 3d model (camera view). It does not. In fact, it shows as fully closed. This is not the behavior I seek, and need help figuring out how to show a single sliding door as open.

 

I have also tried varying the number of door panels. If I set the number of panels to 2, I can open one door panel - but the one closest to the wall does not open.

 

I am fairly sure there is a setting that I am missing. I have tried to turn every layer on, to see if I am missing a control somewhere, and yes, I have tried many things before bothering the community. Thus, grateful for any help I can get. Assume that I have not changed any default setting; the behavior I am getting seems to be out-of-the-box behavior.

Select the door in 3D and click the open in 3D button

Thanks Joey, but given your picture: The button will open/close the mid panels. It does not affect the two panels to the sides. I would have expected two side panels in your drawing to move into the gray wall.

 

In my own drawings: The button will open one door panel, given that I design a sliding door with two panels. On sliding doors with a single door panel, the visual effect is nothing, i.e., the door remains closed also when toggling door opening using the button shown.

 

So, still looking for a setting where I can make the sliding door move into an interior wall. Think single barn door, but instead to hang on the side of the wall, it should move into an interior wall when opening.

Then use a pocket door. The tool is still the same, you are simply using the wrong door.

Star you are. Wishing you a better day!
