Door 27 opening wrong way (?)

alexliz — Tue, 16 Dec 2025 22:52:14 GMT

When I select Panic Bar for handle, it is placed on what I perceive to be the outside of the room.

I thought I have understood the object the wrong way around, but when I add the outside Kick Board, I see that it actually places it on the inside, i.e. the 'outside Kick Board' and the Panic Bar are on opposite sides of the door leaf. Is it sloppy programming with the library object? Or am I missing something in how the door is perceived to work?

Hi,

I've tested this myself and ran into the same issue. Maybe it is a modelling issue. Also, you can't have a handle on the outside and panic bar on the inside.

Apparently, the US library has doors that have this issue solved (but I haven't tested that): https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Libraries-objects/diferent-handle-in-door/td-p/648272

Thanks - I already had the US library installed. I can confirm that the 'D1 Entrance 27' works properly.
