How do I flip or rotate doors.  Arc indicator fails to show and the "flipping function" in Shape options fails to rotate doors.

Hi Andrew thanks for posting in the community! I saw you have also submitted a support ticket about this and have responded to you directly in the ticket.

For others reading it's not currently possible to rotate a door shape in isolation as this shape is designed to be used in conjunction with a wall shape. However the door should automatically rotate to fit the orientation of a wall it is placed next to. For more information about Floorplans please take a look at our Floorplan Tools article from our Help Center. 

Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions. Hope this helps!


I can choose 4 doors. All of them have a different orientation but they all open to the left. What is the use of making 4 doors if doors rotate to fit the orientation of the wall? I suggest you make 2 doors one opening to the left and 1 opening to the right. Now I can't make a floorplan with the doors opening right.
