Door Placement

[JKEdmo]

Regarding door placement tool:

 

Does Chief have any hotkeys that toggle the door orientation during placement?  For example, toggle between inswing / outswing and left / right?

 

 

Thanks,

 

Jim

Click and drag until it is how you want it.  You can place a door into any of the 4 door orientations.

OK, I see inswing and outswing is controllable (I knew that already and spaced out!).

 

But is there a way to reverse the door swing direction on the fly before placement?  If there is, I don't know the technique.

 

Thanks,

During placement you can just drag to change the Swing Side.  Otherwise, after placement you can use the Edit Tools to change the Hinge Side and Swing Side - or use C,H and C,S hotkeys to do the same.  I find the hotkeys to be slower and not as consistent.

 

I don't know of any way to change the Hinge Side during placement.

Left click and hold the button down, drag the mouse around, and then let the button up.

Thanks!  That's what I was looking for.  Very good tip.
