here is where i stopped, now based on the opening side of the door i would like to place a receptacle to the opposite part (if the door is opened to the left, the receptacle is placed to the right)

Try having a look at what @Sean_Fruin (Sigma AEC) has done in his “streamlining MEP” white paper, as this might help. I remember there being something on placing thermostats in rooms next to doors.

You read my mind, Sean came right to mind when I saw this.

I managed to come up with this graph, but the only problems i encounter are:

  1. how to rotate the fixtures in the right direction?
  2. how to offset their placement to a point which is half the door width + 150mm
    @Xtopher123 could you offer me some advice?

Could you upload both the Graph file and the Test Model so I could have a look at it?
