Hi everyone, cos I can't find any fold up door family on internet, so i made this one myslef, and tried my best to make it parametric. Although the family got a lot of contraints seted up and got very "fragile" in the end, it worked to my intension~! hope you like it and please leave your opinions~!

Good Job! I like it. You used formulas very well. Sometimes getting something to work for your intention is all you can do. Don't expect every family to flex Infinitely. Sometimes the geometry can't exist geometricaly when you flex a certain parameter beyond its "bounds." Angle parameters are this way a lot.

Looks good!

My 2 cents is to plan you next family by using nested elements (i.e. nested glass panel) for better control the angle for your folding door.

Hope it helps!
