you can get the barn door wheels that slide on the track in sketchup
or you can make them yourself within softplan
with solid cubes and horz cylinder
put the solids together and create a 3d symbol - read up in the HELP
the opening in the wall is created with an "opening / arch / flat" edit to size
the doors are solid cubes with a old wood texture "SCALED"
note: you can use any texture you want.

Okay ... let's see what we can do.
Completely different methodology to Randy's .....
Go to - SYSTEM LIBRARY > CONFIGURE LIBRARY > OPENINGS and go to FACE SLIDING
CLICK ONE STEP
Give it a suitable name ... 72 x 80 DOUBLE BARN DOOR
CUSTOM OPENING
Type ... FACE SLIDING DOOR
and under Elevation Choose the LIBRARY and SYMBOL that you want to use for the door - You could choose a plain door and then texture it to suit later.
OK
Then under COMPONENT ... Click ADD and add the same door to the right of the one you have
EDIT INDIVIDUAL COMPONENT for the first one:
COMPONENT:
Plan - CHECK - Reverse (Reverse shows the door on the outside of the wall, typically where barn doors are)
Width - 36"
Height - 80"
Operation - L
Swing - 90
ELEVATION
Sill - None
Frame - UNCHECK - Right and Bottom
EDIT INDIVIDUAL COMPONENT for the Second one:
COMPONENT:
Plan - CHECK - Reverse
Dimensions:
Width - 36"
Height - 80"
Operation - R
Swing - 90
ELEVATION
Sill - None
Frame - UNCHECK - Left and Bottom
OK
Go to EDIT ENTIRE OPENING
Make sure Rough Width and Rough Height are what you want.
OK
It doesn't show door tracks, but you can always make a pseudo track with a solid above the door ...
Should work ... Let us know how you get on.

super keith.
and you can make them open and closed as with any door.
these sliding barn doors are becoming fairly popular for interiors.
won't have to use my archaic way.
thanks keith for all you do

You didn't do anything wrong Ron, The 90° opening is on the plan ... You need to check OPEN IN MODEL on the same tab you had open at 90° on.

If you haven't already, go to this post in "Product Suggestions" and add your comment for including Barn Doors in the SP stock drawing library.
The more comments we have there, the more likely SP will add them.

In reality, if you really want a chance, you have to send Softplan the suggestion on the Softplan site under Support>Softplan Suggestions. The "Product Suggestions" on this site is only for discussions between us. Softplan says that the developers only work with the suggestions sent to their site. I imagine that if at some point there's a huge amount of suggestions on this site about the same items that the administrators might forward it to development but by that time, it may be taken in consideration in future versions, not the upcoming one.If you haven't already, go to this post in "Product Suggestions" and add your comment for including Barn Doors in the SP stock drawing library.
