Kenoeightspot Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Nana doors are here. Look in the Manufacturer cat. (down load first) Ca. make these a door symbol and allow them to be shown open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 David Michaels of California has already created such a library: http://www.dmd3d.com/free.html DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 These symbols IMNSHO are just about worthless. It would have been far better if Chief had spent the time to allow "bi-fold" doors to have a specified number of panels - or just added a "Folding Window Wall" (aka NanaWall) door type. That way we could have full flexibility to show them Open or Closed as well as being able to directly insert them into a wall with all the other Door features. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenoeightspot Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 David, DMDz Nana door imports as a "ALB" file format not a "Calibz" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It needs to be a part of the Door Tool as a Door Type - not a set of static Symbols that have no decent functionality. As I said before, this Library is worthless. It should never have been done as a set of symbols. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumbleChief Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 See post #3 in this thread.

It should never have been done as a set of symbols. Are these symbols created by Nana? Or created by Chief with Nana's permission? If created by Nana then given to Chief then I suppose Nana has no real motivation to make them actually function in a Chief plan. If created by Chief with Nana's permission then why not make them function as one would expect a door to function? As Joe said above I also think that a generic bi-fold door with multiple panel options would be much more useful in actual design work and also reflect the many manufacturer choices beyond Nana Walls that are available in the market place. I've spec'd and installed Nana walls twice but most of my clients choose La Cantina or another more reasonably priced door system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenoeightspot Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 Joe, Being part of CA's doors is what I am asking for. The bifold door is almost there just add the option for all doors on one side and the option to adjust sizes and quantity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might I 'suggest' you submit it in the Suggestions Forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
