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

Solved by ryan.duell. Go to Solution.
I have included a link to the Revit Families Guide below:
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.
Thank you,
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:

Thank you,
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.....
