Change the Orientation of a Door

You can change a door’s hinge side (hand) or swing (facing).

  1. In a plan view, select the door.
  2. Right-click, and click the desired option:
    If you want to… then select…
    change the side (right or left) on which the door is hinged Flip Hand. This option is available only for door families created with horizontal controls.
    change the direction (in or out) in which the door swings Flip Facing. This option is available only for door families created with vertical controls.

    Alternatively, you can click either of the corresponding flip controls (Flip the instance hand or Flip the instance facing) that display in the drawing when a door is selected.
