Hi all,

I’m laying out a floorplan in Lucid chart, and I want to illustrate the positioning and opening of doors accurately. However, Lucid does not allow doors to be flipped or rotated. Please fix. Thanks!

Hi @cjleahy

Thank you for the post! To add to @Humas1985 comments, you can flip which way a door opens by selecting the box in the middle of the door shapes, however you can not flip it left to right, instead I would recommend replacing the door shape that best fits.

Hi @cjleahy 

Lucidchart's standard floorplan shapes library does not currently offer a built-in feature to flip or rotate door shapes directly

Refer the below article / post to learn more

Hope this helps - Happy to help further!!
Thank you very much and have a great one!
Warm regards

You can do it with the current doors. It’s not clear that you can. These are the steps i take:

  1. Add door to the wall
  2. Move the center gray point to the opposite side of the wall
  3. Move the entire door (not the gray point) to the right side of the wall

This flips the direction of where the door opens
