If all you want is to have it look like that in plan, you can use the Swing Both Directions option in the door's dbx. 

 

Or, if you really want 2 doors, you can actually drag 2 doors to occupy the same location in a wall. 

i DON'T want Single door, double swinging direction.

i want 2 doors (storm door, o/s & wood door i/s) like what you have in your photo.

is there a setting for that type of door? or did you manually draw it?

hi, 

is there this type of in/out double door in CA?

where i can spec a outside screen/storm door and a standard exterior wood door in the inside.

i just faked this by copy & reflect the door to get this drawing.

thanks,

hi,

is there a setting to turn on the handrail to display in Plan view.

my City Plan Examiner requires it to be drawn in floor plan.

i often uses Corner Boards function.

when using it in a low pitch gable end roof, i can pull up the Boards up far enough to hide behind the facia and it doesnt show thru the roof.

but on a hight slope pitch roof, when you pull it that high,  to hide the board under the facia, it will poke thru on the roof.

is there anyway to trim or edit the CB or any other method of drawing Corner Boards??

thanks,

i cant seem to figure out how to print to Landscape on my printer, in Mac OSX

i have a HP DesignJet 130, that can print 24"wide with the paper on the roll.

the setting i want is to print is 24 x 18", Landscape, which utilizes the 24" wide paper roll and would be cutting the sheet @ 18" long.

my Layout is set up 24x18 Landscape and i have my Print Setting to Lanscape

but when it prints, it keep printing Portrait, 18" wide and 24" long

is there a setting turn off this line when a door is placed on a exterior wall??

hi,

is there a way  to change the pre-set label of the "Current Floor:" name (Foundation, 1st, Attic..) to make it your own name?  Like.....Basement, Main Floor Plan, Attic Plan.

because every time i send this view to Layout, i wouldn't have to rename the view.
