Curtain Wall - not showing up in plan as in 3d??

see attached image.
curtain wall with a double door insert not showing up properly in plan as it is showing up in 3d. Elevation is not reading properly either.

Rob:

Taking a quick look at the cw door 12, try Options > Opening Type > Side Hung Mirrored, and Options > Top Direction > 0˚. One will change the 2D Symbol, the other the opening lines (and swing direction) in 3D.

are you on your own or do you work for a firm??

David,
yer instructions worked well. Only thing is that it's a bit "clunky-cumbersome" to edit the door inserts within the curtain wall. kinda feels a bit weird (until you get used to the settings) what each option setting does....but it worked.

thanks again,

Rob
