Checking if a door opens the same direction as the path of travel

[iliasmitmail]

Hello,

I am trying to finde a way to analyze the Problem mentioned in the title. Is there maybe already a method to do this?

Otherwise I have the following idea:

As far as I know getting Directions in Revit means that I will get a Vector like this (x,y,z).

First of all I need to get the Direction in which the door opens. Than according to the start and endpoint of my Path of Travel I can say whether my Directions on the x- and y-axes are positiv or negative (which way they are facing). Now I can check those with the Direction of my Door. If I devide the two directions with each other there should be a positiv number as a result if they face the same direction.

Maybe the following picture will help understanding my explenation:

 

However getting the direction of a door already seems to be a big difficulty.

I am sorry if I did not explain something clearly enough. Using mathimatical vocabulary in english is pretty new to me.

I am very thankfull for your help!!

I searched the Internet for 'revit api door opening direction':

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=revit+api+door+opening+direction

That returns:

Get a door’s open direction and hinge side

Does that help?
