i have gone thru the revit tutorial on doors and even looked at the past forums, what i have going on is that i set my door from 45 to 90 fine i try to go back to 45 and it does not work any longer. if i set it to 89.999 it will go back to 45 just fine. so any other angle works but when it hits 90 it will not flex back to any other angel.

Any suggestions would be great.

thanks

I'm not sure why this would happen.  I have several doors with adjustable swings.  I would think it may be how you built the family initially.  If you don't have all your reference planes / lines in place before you add your geometry, that can cause problems. 

 

Download the families guide from the autodesk site.  Then read the section "Using Reference Lines in Families".

That's ok, it works in every since of the way other than that 1 degree differencein the family file.  I have flexed it it hard in the project file and it has not failed to make anysize combination i threw at it. So i am good. when i have more time i can look at what is going on, but i can move from here.  i have attached the file for you to look at i only went as far as doing the symbilic lines since theat is all i needed help with. let me know what you think the issue is or may be. thanks

That need to be a reference line - not plane.

i'll give it a shot and see what it does.  the families guide has no mention of adding a plane in that location. it just says to use symbolic lines. i will let you know.
