Hi!

I have a doubt about door families. The issue is that I have several inclined walls in my revit model which should host doors cutting in a non-orthogonal way. I have a situation such as shown in picture 1 and I would like to create a door family such as shown in picture 2. My problem is that I haven't found any information to do so and I don't think it's possible using the metric door template since it only gives you the possibility to design an opening door through the elevation view (therefore you cannot manipulate the opening in the floor plan). I'm not sure if what I'm asking for is even possible but I don't think I'm the first person to have this trouble so I wanted to try! thanks!1.JPG2.JPG

In above screenshot I created a door family (just the opening now) and placed it in a project. As you see you can make non orthogonal door families.

In the door template the opening is created by an opening cut which is always orthogonal. However if you remove it you can use a void to create an opening which does not have to be orthogonal.

Will not be the easy to make it a parametric door family, but it is possible.
