Double Wall for Large (Giant!) Pocket Sliding Doors

I have a Client that wants to use a 22 foot LA Cantina Sliding Door system that folds into exterior wing walls. I am not sure how to represent this in the model. A double wall seems to create issues re: understanding the room and foundation. Alternatively, I'm not sure how to position the unit in the center of an artificially thick wall to mimic the position of the window either.

 

Can someone please clarify best practices regarding these systems? Am I not checking a box? Is there a go-around I'm supposed to use for these types of systems. Your help is very much appreciated!

Have you tried just using a pocket door in a thick wall?  You can set it to whatever width you want and use custom panels to have as many panels as you need on each side.  You can even specify a panel offset if you want it installed more to the inside or outside.

Any suggestions for adding/showing screen doors that also slide into the pocket with the multi-slide doors in plan view (2 sets of doors, glass & screen, in the same cavity)?  I can do with CAD - just not finding a way to do otherwise (in case I'm missing it, if there is one). For 3D, another wall in a separate plan can be done - just would be nice to have it work all in one. Thanks!
