Adjusting From Room and To Room Calculation

Enable and modify the From Room and To Room Calculation Points to reorient window and door families.

  1. Select the door or window family instance in the drawing area.
  2. Click Modify | <Element> tab Mode panel Edit Family.
  3. In the Family Editor, open a floor plan view of the family.
  4. On the Properties palette, select the Room Calculation Point parameter in the Other section. A green dashed line with arrowheads indicating the From/To direction is now visible in the drawing area.
  5. Select the From/To Path and relocate either end to a position that will clearly determine its intended room.
  6. If necessary, Use the flip control at the center of the From/To Path to reorient the direction.
    Note: If the family needs From/To Path adjustment in the Z-axis, open an elevation or 3D view to access movement controls. Relocate the point similarly.
  7. Click Modify tab Family Editor panel Load into Project.
