Display of Window/Door Opening Lines

The display of window/door opening lines should be controlled by Display Options (instead of/in addition to the objects' parameters). Typically, whether or not one wants the opening lines to appear is a function of the drawing type, not the individual opening.

it is actually a good point. Showing the opening lines should be in the global settings...

More options are better, so I say in addition to the current options is the way to go.

I would also like to be able to show the swing of casement windows in my floorplans which I currently cannot do. The diea is to make the swings look like the doors do, so my installers will easily see which way the casement window is supposed t o open without having to refer to the elebvation and run the risk of having a transposition error.

Laura,

Just to clarify even though our friends in Budapest have remarkably good English skills: you're talking about opening lines in section/elevation, right?

If so, I agree... a display option would be great.

Correct. The name of this parameter is "Opening Line in 3D".
