my doors in 2d are closed

Anonymous — Wed, 24 May 2023 08:49:27 GMT

I have the 2d plans settings - door opening angle set to 90 but it still shows up as closed in the plan. ALso, there is no selection point on the door panel itself where you could select It and open it in the plan view screen. When I open the selection settings for the door, the preview screen shows it as opened. I don't know what else to look for
Thanks

I would say the Floor Plan Display for your door is set to "Projected" or "Projected with Overhead".
This will be giving you a projection of the 3D view in plan.
So if your door is closed in 3D it will be closed in plan regardless of the 2D opening setting.

Try setting your door to "Symbolic" then you will see it in 2D as it was intended.
You can then play around with the "Detail" settings depending on what level of detail you want to see for the door and frame.

Unless you are using the Floor Plan Cutting Plane settings to manipulate the plan view of your elements I would leave everything (walls, columns, doors, windows, etc.) as "Symbolic" so you have less to worry about.

Changing the floor plan settings to symbolic worked. thanks

Odd though that I rarely fool with that setting for doors. not sure how it changed.
