wait, so where would the strong reference plane be within the door family,
and once loaded into the project, what are you aligning to what? Now I'm
curious about this.

Not automatic but you can make it a little easier. If you add a reference
plane on either side of a door for example, make them a strong reference and
add dimensions with labels you can preset a typical offset from adjacent
walls. Then when you place the door you can use the align tool to
accurately position the door based on your "rules". If you make the value a
TYPE parameter all door will behave this way. If you make the value an
INSTANCE then you'll have to set this value for each door...
