Door family not resizing

Hi all,

 

I need a door at 45deg instead of 90deg. I edited the family of the standard M_Single-Flush to shift the door itself 45deg (saved as different family name).

 

When I load it into the project - the default 915 wide door works great. But I need a 620 and 420 version of it also.

When changing the size in properties the gap in the wall will resize, but not the door graphic. Image attached.

How do I get it to resize? Or do I need to create separate instances for each size option I need?

 

Thanks

It appears the 2D Detail Items and Symbolic Lines that indicate the Swing have lost association with the reference places that drive the width.  You will need to associate these and they will adjust for each Family.

You can add a Swing Parameter to control this angle if required, i have used this guide in the past but there are lots of videos on this.

You should be able to change the angle if you load the default door from the cloud
