    I am trying to get this door swing to be adjustable. I have created an instance parameter "Swing Angle". I can't figure out what to lock to get all the symbolic door panel lines to swing together, only two out of the four swing with the angle. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

    The trick here is to start the panel lines at anything less that 90 degrees ( I use 45) and DO NOT use a reference plane to drive the angle, just dimension the panel line.

    You know what, better yet, a family is worth a thousand words. Take a look at this one.

    Use a nested family for the door swing. If the door and swing are not nested than they get "sticky" and crash at the 0 and 180 degree settings. See attached door families. They are constructed so that only the 2D door symbols are adjustable. I have also made some door families with 3D adjustable panels but found that they got kind of messy in elevation views.
