    Default Better Bifold Door?

    The attached family has a bunch of custom parameters based on some internal decisions that we made about scheduling. It was also created from a custom RFT file we made. But it works and you should be able to deconstruct the process to make it work for you.

    This is a really minor improvement that will be of no use to you if this kind of thing does not bug you. Thanks again to Steve Stafford and his tutorial on swing angles. I did not like the way the OOTB bifold doors were represented in plan view. They do not flex correctly if the width changes (picky, picky) and there is no angle control. We prefer a 60 degree drafting convention. So I created a generic Swing Angle Bifold family that is nested into the bifold door. It forces the individual leaves to flex correctly with the overall width. It also has a formula parameter derived from the swing angle that insures the angle between the separate leaves is proportional the swing angle.

    Like I said, not such a big improvement unless you have an obsessive compulsive personality.
