Tips & Techniques is where you share with others your tips & techniques. You should put this type of question in the Q&A section It is easy to make a murphy bed make a symbol out of a bed and make it as a millwork symbol. Use a bottom hinge door and on the back of that door use that symbol as a back of door attachment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief_Content Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 @lashleydesign, What a great question and a great challenge! I think this is the perfect place to challenge users for a new Tip and Trick! I took you up on it and made a very rudimentary version - I think you could expound on the idea really easily. Here are the steps I took: Create a base cabinet and set it to the height, width, depth you would have in a murphy bed. Change the face item to a single door. Set it to "Door, Hinge Bottom" Choose "Specify" for Shelves to turn off automatic shelves. From the library browser, find a "mattress", I used a queen mattress. Copy it to your User Catalog Choose "Open Symbol" from the mattresses context menu, and on the "3D" panel, rotate the mattress so that it is oriented as its "closed" position. I set mine up to be a tilt down from the end of the bed (oriented so that the pillows are at the bottom and facing away). You could set yours up to be sideways if you like. In the Cabinet specification, Front panel, click "Specify" next to "Appliances/Doors/Drawers" and browse to your mattress. Now you can show this cabinet door opened or closed to show the bed in action! I bet other users like @Renerabbitt can add even more ideas here to elevate this object. Thanks for the fun prompt! Here is the plan file if you'd like to dissect. Murphy Bed.zip 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
