    Anybody have one that works for 90d and other angles?

    The ones on Rugi fall apart when I adjust the swing to 90d and then flex the width.

    In general, what is the best way to have a parametric angle in a family, and be able to move that angle's vertex with other geometry?

    Here you go.

    These are from Mr. Z originally I think.

    I also have double door and bifold if you want them, let me know.

    If you have a close look at the families, you will see how the parametric angle works.

    No, the angle cannot be zero (0). However, it can be set to anything else though. Revit seems to not like any angle being set to zero, not just door opening swings.

    i know why it can't be zero,through i try for hours

    it can be zero if plan has no symble line for swing,
    if you have to draw the swing line , don't lock it at door panel end

    Makes sense. The line would be too short (zero length). Boy, do I feel stupid. Thanks for the wake-up call.

    I have started to assemble doors out of nested pieces, this makes this much easier, I've made typical door panels, ie glass panel, flush, etc. then I load those into a new door family with just the frame in it. then you can place a dimension setting the angle of the panel and not worry about it aligning with symbol lines etc.

    It cannot be zero, but it can be .1, which is small enough that no one would notice.

    sorry! i make you angry....,ofcause the swing line can't be shorten to zero any way,

    my case has no swing line,so.....

    i insert it to project, and set angle parameter to zero, it work correct


    ...just study case.....

    The way I did it in order to be able to use the 0 and 90 degrees values was to create a new parameter with a value of 0.00001 or something like that.
    then I set the opening parameter (angle) to be a function of that new parameter so even If I put 0 or 90 as a value for the opening angle, it will be always something a little more than that value, but so small that it's impossible to see the difference...

    ciao
