Hello All,
I’m still a Dynamo Noob and I was wondering if Dynamo could be utilized to help Revit users better manage Door Handing? For example, there are a few Door Swing related apps available today that seem to monitor how many flips the door flip controller get’s and compare’s it back to the door’s original loaded orientation. So, if I have a swing door with a Swing parameter that begins as “R” for right handed swing, and Revit detects that I flipped it once, the app would then change that Swing parameter value to a “L” for example. The problem with this method of management is that if a door get’s mirrored or the project is mirrored, the door swing value does not get updated since the flip controller was not touched. At first glance, I didn’t find anything related to the flip controller in the code block list, so I was wondering if any veterans in the forums could verify that this concept could be reproducible - if not improved upon using Dynamo?
that works indeed, some project leaders dont accept the work around though.
what we tried to do is change the python script, writing fromRoom instead of toRoom. It obviously works fine for doors that open to the outside and gives us the wrong information for doors that open from the outside…
