Door swing - Have I got something wrong???

[Anonymous]

I am not sure if I am missing something. It looks like I have to go through a learning tutorial to be able to make a door show a swing of something other than 90 deg. It seems strange to me that doors are not adjustable from 0 deg to 180 deg at least by just typing in the angle???

I would like the two doors on the right in the attachment below to line up with the wall alongside them, simple task looks hard with Revit???

Cheers

I have included a link to the Revit Families Guide below:

Revit Families Guide

Starting on Page XX there is a step by step process to create a door with a variable swing.  

By default, in Revit door families, a swing angle parameter is not present.

Thank you,

Starting on page 139 there is a step by step process to create a door with a variable swing.  By default, in Revit door families, a swing angle parameter is not present but you can add one with this process.

Thx Ryan

Your link did not get me to the training files but I got them eventually, loaded them on my machine & followed the exercise. I must say for an Autodesk tutorial it was supriseingly easy to follow, maybe Revit training files are easier than Autocad or ACA. Anyhow well done, now I need to know how to create an Australian style cavity sliding door unit, or in US terms I think you call it a pocket door. A pocket door in ACA works fine for Aust style.

I would also check Autodesk Seek.  I did a quick search and there appears to be a few pocket door examples if needed.  I have included an example link below:

Thx again Ryan

I have downloaded these doors but I think I will have to go into them & try to redo them as metric & also probably get rid of the glass or maybe save these ones & make some more with my new found skills at family editing.

Oh yes one more thing! I went through the exercise from Adsk, now my door has a door panel in both the open position & in the closed position? Is that easy to change??

Cheers Dermot.

does this work the same for existing doors because i'm having a hard time making this happen without it saying that it wont work. It has it's problems when i get to 90, i'll try to go back down to 45 and it will give me these error messages below.....
