Bi-fold doors Hi I am a very novice user and I am trying to modify a set of bi-fold doors created by PencilArt, which are in the latest Contributions.shf Currently, these doors have small panes in them and I would like them to be single panes of glass. Eventually, I'd also like to have a 3 door version but that's less important. How do I go about this? I have the Furniture Library Editor but I cannot see how to remove the panes... Thanks in advance |

Re: Bi-fold doors To modify a model you need 3D-modelling software. The Library Editor is suited only to make libraries, not to do 3D-modelling. H ---------------------------------------- Hans new website - under constuction hansdirkse.info |

Re: Bi-fold doors See if this fits the bill I tried putting it into a library file which might work. AccordionFoldGlassDoors.sh3f Failing that, you can import the Object files; accordionFoldGlassDoors.obj and accordionFoldGlassDoors.mtl Credits to PencilArt and eTeks for prior work. Regards, Jay |

Re: Bi-fold doors Jay, Nice try with the folding doors. Unfortunately, when you insert the doors into a wall, the doors disappear into the wall as well. Also, could you split the model into more groups, so that more individual parts can get their own colour/texture? Suggestion: doors, handles, bottom rail, 3-sided frame, glass. It would make the model more realistic. H ---------------------------------------- Hans new website - under constuction hansdirkse.info |

Re: Bi-fold doors I just deleted the framing elements that divided the glass panes and added a door handle. Everything else is identical to the original properties. Makes no sense why it wouldn't fit the wall. I must have changed the origin at some point. As for your other requests.... that will take it from a minor edit to a new model, so maybe. Probably do it when I get frustrated writing my staircase plugin so chances are good. Jay |

Re: Bi-fold doors Just checked. The origin is the same as the original model. *shrugs* No idea why it no working |

Re: Bi-fold doors Maybe You could tray this Accordion Folding Doors library. I've try to make it as Hansmex sugest. When we will have hinge_on_rail and some glue between parts could be made more complex. ---------------------------------------- A computer program does what you tell it to do, not what you want it to do.

Re: Bi-fold doors Just throwing in an observation on the subject of bi-folding doors, I noticed whilst rendering with the doors open that the rendering really slowed down in areas where the rays would be traveling through multiple layers of glass. I did not see this as a problem more just an interesting observation that ray tracing has a lot more work to do in this scenario, I guess with reflection and refraction going on the number of child rays of parent rays shoots up a fair amount. |
