WINDOW SWING

[ethannavah]

Right Left casement window swing does not match the elevation. ANY SOLUTION?

[Lachlan-JWP]

This is far too vague to offer a helpful solution. Can you post the family or some screenshots showing the issue?

YOU CAN SEE ON THE FLOOR PLAN IT SWINGS THE OTHER DIRECTION FROM THE ELEVATION VIEW

[Lachlan-JWP]

That's the way they are supposed to look. Both elevation and plan are showing the windows hinged on the right.

SORRY BUT THE HINGE IS WHERE THE 2 SWING LINE CONNECT

LOOK AT A REGULAR DOUBLE CASEMENT WINDOW

Mirror the elevation swing lines in the family.

[ethannavah]

I THOUGHT ABOUT THAT BUT... THE SWING DOES'NT SHOW UP IN THE FAMILY EDITOR

[ToanDN]

Did you open the elevation view in the family?

[ethannavah]

YES

Yeah; change the orientation to how you want it. 

Too easy? If so, you could probably write a Dynamo Routine to do it for you.

HEY BRO! YOU PROBABLY DID'NT FOLLOW THE WHOLE TREAD...

MY ISSUE IS THAT IT DOES'NT MATCH THE SWING IN THE FLOOR PLAN VIEW AND THE ELEVATION VIEW

Yeah, I saw that.  Looks like a 10 second fix to me.  If it ain't, then post the family here and let's see what's going on.

IS THIS WHAT YOU WANNA SEE?

Do you really think that's what I want to see?  

Never mind. I'm outta here.  

Good luck.

If you can't find the swing lines in the family editor you're going to have to post the family so we can have a look.

No. that is a 3D view.  Open an Elevation view.

The issue is that the family parameter names are backwards. You have to go into the Casement Swing family then modify the parameter values by editing the names. Switch RH to LH and vice versa. Then the swings will operate correctly. Make sure you save it to the casement window type and then load and save into your file. Should fix it.
