In many workflows, there is a critical need to control the door opening angle individually per view, and per door, to reflect specific functional or regulatory requirements.
When producing evacuation plans for the fire department, we need to show certain doors along the evacuation route in the open position, while other doors marked “close in case of fire” must appear closed. This differentiation is essential for clear communication and compliance with fire safety regulations.
At present, door opening angles can only be controlled manually per object (static, not view-dependent), or globally via the Model View Options (MVO), which applies the same state to all doors in a given view.
This means we cannot have different doors shown open or closed within the same view;
We propose the following enhancements to door behavior in Archicad:
-
Per-view control: Allow the door opening angle to be defined differently per view.
-
Per-instance override: Allow exceptions per door object within a view—e.g., door A open, door B closed—without affecting all doors.
-
Integration options: This control could be added to:
