The chart showing different combinations of reveal, mirroring, and angle is wrong at https://gdl.graphisoft.com/reference-guide/doors-and-windows . The only one of these that changes the handedness/hinging/opening (L/R) of a door is SYMB_MIRRORED. The same type of illustration at https://gdl.graphisoft.com/gdl-basics/simple-doors-and-windows seems to be correct.
