Door swings

[elky853]

I created my own door family in Revit and everything sounds perfect in elevation and 3D view. But in floor plan view it doesn't display the door swing that other doors (the ones from Revit libraries) do have. 

This is a door imported from the Revit library-note the door swing:

This is a door I created myself-looks like a door but doesn't have a door swing, which makes it less visible in the drawing:

I'd appreciate anyone who can help me with this! Thanks!

The swing in a lot of doors are nested Detail Families. You can bring that Detail Family into your Family.  

...or nest this one into your Door Family and Associate its Parameters to Parameters in the Host.

Typically you would add symbolic line to represent your door swing.

Afterward you would hide the 3d door panel and door handle.
