Hello,
Does anyone know how to change the SWING of the door? From a left door to right opening door.
Thanks!!

use the Mirror command. To switch from outside to inside you will need to open the Door settings and select "Flip".

Or the Rotate command, which changes the opening direction and hinge side.

But, I believe that Rotate will swap the exterior and interior as far as cladding (materials) and sill/stool go...

Thank you all! I knew about the Flip. But now I know to use the Mirror or Rotate also. Thanks again! Happy Holidays!

True, so best for interior doors.
