door swing on existing door

so i have a created double door that I need to change to a doubkle swing door. I know i need to create an angle parameter but what happens to me every time i do this, is when i swing from 45 to 90 and then try to go back to 45 i get the messages below. How do i fix these error messages?

 

 

Error message

Use a Reference Line, instead of a Ref. Plane for the angular dimension reference.

so i figured out that if i tried to create the swing angle and tried to change it in every angle then it would bring that error at 90, but if i loaded it in a project then the error message went away. I don't exactly know why that was the case but it worked and has worked for the 20 doors I've created since. If you know why that is please let me know

Could you attach the family you are using so we can have a look?

like i said in my last post is that i only saw the error message when inside the rfa file but once i put it into a project the swing works without error, but i have no idea why it would work inside the project but not in the rfa file
