We have 2 situations were i would need a hand.
1 - As per image 01 there is two walls side by side (required by code) so we obviously have 2 doors. The problem is with the door schedule where we show From Room Name and To Room Name. One side of the door is not opening anywhere.

2 - As per image 02 there is again two walls next to each other (between rooms). Each hold a door and i have the same issue.

Any idea how to work around that ?

Make the inside wall non-bounding. This way a "room" is not created in the little space between the walls.

Oops, sorry... That doesn't work exactly. I'm still looking into it.

it seems to work only one way

Unfortunately, I think the only way is to make a wall type that resembles two walls (use the AIR SPACE to define the distance between them). You will also need a special door to resemble two doors.

This seems like too much work. Just fudge it. Insert text in the schedule manually once it is inserted onto a sheet.

I found a way with the help of support. Simply use a door family with no opening. See the attach file.

Out of curriosity - how/where is that door 124/124B used? I don't think I've ever seen anything like that...

Between 2 hotel rooms there is 2 walls. Each one of this wall opens to the other room but each room have controls of it's own door. So if you are with families you can open both doors and have a party :-)
If not, you keep yours close

Well yes - we do hotels and use plenty of the 101/102 type you show. Just never the other where they swing the same direction. It looks like there would be a lot bashing of doors and hardware....

And my french isn't good, but doesn't that open into a stair?

Oh you were referring to the left image. That's a special case required by code. Basically the hotel part needs to be physically separated from the administration. Which explain why this situation. Definitely not an ordinary case. The image on the right is the one between rooms.

In the case of the 101/102 style door, why wouldn't you create a special door family for that? Then you wouldn't have to play games with the walls and the room schedule issue would go away... don't they use single jambs for those now anyway?

I could use a nested door family i guess, but the way it is now works perfectly
