This is a major conceptural bug... completely wrong ... the fundamental action (from the ArchiCAD manual) is that when placing a door the final click indicates the direction of the swing... that the decision you make. Identifying which is inside or outside should not change the direction of the swing.<BR /> This issue is far more important than the library bug<BR /> Changing the inside /Outside parameter should only change the frame and the casing NOT swing direction.<BR /> If you haven't looked at or noticed this then please check it out</T></DIV> Wed, 24 May 2023 09:02:40 GMT David Shorter 2023-05-24T09:02:40Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Libraries-objects/The-Inside-Outside-parameter-reverses-the-door-swing/m-p/31267#M32586 <DIV class="actalk-migrated-content"><T>the whole door behaviour is wrong. telling a door that the swing is inside or outside SHOULD NOT CHANGE THE DIRECTION OF THE SWING.<BR /> This is so completely wrong I am amazed its never been reported until now.
