Door Swings - Property Data

[welk3d-cad1]

There currently appears to be no easy way, through property data, to determine whether a door is swinging Reverse – that is, swinging to the outside of a room versus swinging to the inside of a room. This information is necessary for door schedules. Presently, we can automatically shedule Left Hand and Right Hand swings, but we cannot automatically schedule Left Hand Reverse or Right Hand Reverse swings.

In ADT terms, a door swinging to the same room side as the door anchor would be a standard swing, whereas a door swinging to the opposite room side as the anchor would be a reverse swing. The currently existing property definition DoorObjects:SwingDirection-Reverse simply gives the opposite value of the definition DoorObjects:SwingDirection. This does not help in determining whether the door swings into a room or out of a room. This should be corrected.

You can schedule LH and RH with Swing Direction ( or Swing Direction - Reverse) Property set. See attached screenshot.

James why would it matter whether it's swinging in or out? Isn't that what the plan is for?
Is the frame any different (as it might be for an external door with weathering)?
Other than that I can't see that it would make any difference to the order?

It would matter to the door supplier; the prep for LH and LHR or RH and RHR is different. That said, we do not even list the hand on our architectural door schedule; it is up to the contractor to look at the drawings for that information, as you said. That is usually pretty straight forward, except for doors with locks where it is not readily apparent from which side the door should be locked.
