Flip door swing direction without moving door inside wall

So, I am from Europe and I don't know how they do it in the rest of the world but over here it's customary to have external doors and windows sit semi-flush with the wall, and swing inwards. 

However, I find that this is not how Revit likes to do it. When you switch swing direction to let a door or window swing inwards, the door or window also moves inside the wall to sit flush with the inside face instead of the outside face. 

Anybody any idea how I can make this work? I also have a few tilt-turn windows that give me the same behavior.

 

This is how the door should swing, right now this gives the wrong look:correct swing, wrong look.png

It gives this look:

This is the correct look:

How I want it.png

But then the door swings outwards, which is weird:

You have to edit the family and add custom swing toward inside.

Say what???  You mean your doors aren't hung in frames that have a door stop to prevent the door from doing that? No, that's not what you mean; I'm sure. That's just plain silly.  What do you mean though?  I don't see any difference between US and European doors.

@barthbradley Well I don't know, but since Revit makes the doors opening outwards, I assumed that in the rest of the world doors and windows may be set in to the wall, instead of being sort of flush. As you can see from the pictures I included, with the correct look the door swings outwards. It should swing inwards.

@syman2000 How would you do that?

First edit your family.

Draw the swing. Make sure you lock the outline so it flex with your door parameter.

If you want to keep the door swing toward outside, then create visibility parameter

Are aware that selecting the door and pressing the Spacebar flips the door handing and facing?  FWIW.

They are a specific application for our projects.  They can have frame.
