Report Door Swing Direction

[Gal]

Hello,

 

Is there a way to add to a door schedule the door swing direction (right or left) looking from the exterior?

What VW version are you using? You can do this in VW2024 + VW2025 but I don't think you can do it before then.

 

You should show your version in your signature.

Thanks Tom

Are you able to upgrade or not on VSS/subscription...?

Unfortunately I use a stand alone version with no VSS.

Add it as a parameter in the IFC data, and schedule that.

 

=IFC.'DoorStyle'.'OperationType'

 

Reports:

 

SINGLE_SWING_RIGHT

SINGLE_SWING_LEFT

 

depending on how you have flipped the door.

 

You can always reduce this to

 

RIGHT

 

or

 

LEFT

 

=SUBSTRING(IFC.'DoorStyle'.'OperationType', '_', 3)

The problem is that in VW2023 a Door doesn't know which side is in + which side is out. I think for this formula to work you will need all your Doors to open inwards.

Thanks guys, I upgraded to 2025 now, no more problems 🙂
