POCKET DOOR

Post by flashman »

Hi all,

I'm using this amazing program for my home.

Actually I'm stopped. I don't know where find a pocket door that hides in the wall. Where ca i find a model ?

And how invert the opening side of a door. I can set the grades but not the side, for example a model that is opened from left to right, i'd like to invert right to the left.

Thank you for your support. It's an amazing software.

Welcome to Sweet Home 3D. [:)]

To get the visual effect of a pocket door, import an invisible box (with a checked Door or window option) to make a hole in the wall at the place of the door frame, then import a pocket door like this one (with an unchecked Door or window option otherwise you'll see the door part which is supposed to be hidden in the wall) and place it in the wall with unactivated magnetism.

And to invert the opening side of the door, you should read the FAQ.

Import it with Furniture import wizard as any piece of furniture.
Nothing will appear during importation, nevertheless the wizard will let you import it.

Okay got it, thanks. Question though, I followed the above instructions, and tried to place the pocket door inside the invisible box, but it appears on one side of the wall or the other. However I couldn't find the unactivated magnetism button, which may have something to do with it.
