Door Open Direction in Elevation View

Anonymous

The triangle on the door shows the door direction in the elevation view. However the display in Archicad is opposite from our habit here. Are there any ideas for changing the triangle in the Archicad?

In the Options for GDL Objects panel of the Model View Options Dialog you can find the Line Orientation field.
This is the field that controls globally how Opening Lines are displayed. The "Hinges" option will give you the result you want.

OK, so the full answer is that by default this is controlled by the Model View Options setting.
However, you can go to the settings dialog of the Door, check the Override Model View Options checkbox and then you can also individually override this setting for selected Doors.
