How to Add Doors to a Floor Plan (Hinged, Sliding, French)
Add the four kinds of doors RoomSketch3D supports — standard hinged, French (double), Sliding Glass, and Sliding Wood — to any wall in your floor plan. Set the width and position; for hinged doors, set the hinge side and swing direction so Smart Flow Check can keep furniture clear of the swing arc. Sliding doors have no arc; Flow Check still warns about furniture in the 36 inches in front of them (on both sides when the door is in an inside wall), but it doesn't check the wall the panel slides along.
