Drawing the Bi-Fold Doors
Bi-fold doors are generally shown with each door in a half-open position to indi-
cate their distinctive design. Although there are four door panels on the cabin's
closet door, you will need to draw only one, rotate it into place, and then create
copies with the MIRROR command. To begin the exercise, you will use the PAN
command to shift the view of your drawing to see the closet area without chang-
ing the zoom factor. Here is how you do it:
1. Continue using 04A-FPLAY5.dwg , or open it if it's not already open.
2. Start the PAN command from the View tab ➢ Navigate panel, click
the Pan button, or enter P ↵ at the command line. The cursor changes
appearance to look like an open hand.
3. Place the cursor near the upper jamb of the sliding glass door, and
then click and drag the mouse downward until the drawing area
shifts to display the closet area (see Figure 4.74).
