Click OK.

The warning sign disappears. However, it does not mean we are done. What you see now is a simple door. We saved it in the Simple state. Now we are going to set the other states.

Change current visibility state to the Panel. You can do it by switching from visibility panel in block editor contextual ribbon.

Activate insert block, select panel block from the list. Use the top left corner of the door as the insertion point.

We have defined how our door looks in panel state. You may draw more objects to define how your door panel will look like.

Switch to the Simple state and back to panel state. Have you seen the difference?

Now change current state to panel glass. You should see the door revert to the empty simple door. Insert panel and glass block at the same insertion point.

Do the same steps for the last block. Change visibility state to the Glass state and add the glass block.

You have defined all four visibility states. The door should look like in different states. Test it by switching between all state from the ribbon.

Save your block and close block editor.

Test your block. Select single door block. It is the left most of your doors. Remember, we add visibility states and other blocks to this block. You may delete other blocks to avoid confusion.

You should see visibility control at the bottom right of your door, or wherever you put it in the making process. Click it and change the visibility state.
