Door shown at 45 degree angle

Where do I go to change the setting of the door so that it shows the door swing at 45degree angle instead of 90 in plan view? I have been looking in "Door Selection Settings", but can't find it.

Thanks.

Apart from changing it graphically (using a hotspot) for a single door, you can change it in the parameters as well. If you're using doors from some other library, this might not be the case.

Thanks for the screen shot, that helps a lot. So I went into "Opening" tab under "Custom Settings", and changed the "Opening Angle to 45 degree and it works, thanks!

Glad it helped. So this was a non-GS library part?

It's one of the doors from the standard library. Here's where I found it based on your screen shot. - see attached.

You seem to be using multiple older (and very old) libraries at the same time... Any particular reason?

The load times for all those libraries and loading errors must be horrible
