Nothing I do will make a door attach to a wall object swinging in the right direction. There appears to be 4 doors in the "doors and windows" group thing. Sorry I have screen shots of all this but the forum here seems to do a very poor job of embedding images. Nothing I do will get any of the door objects to attach to the wall in the correct orientation and it's driving me insane. I can't find anything that allows me to rotate the door into the correct orientation. What gives?

Hi Geoff


Thanks for posting in the Lucidchart community!


I have attached a short video on how this functionality works. You will first drag your door onto the canvas and use the purple square icon to flip the door's hinges:



I hope this helps! If you have any questions please don't hesitate to reply to this post!


That would be flipping a door but not rotating it.  Like at a 45 degree.  And it’s just for that door type not some of the others.


Hi ​@RyanOly, thank you for following up in this thread!

Doors are shapes which positioning depends on the wall it is placed in. Therefore, it is not possible to rotate doors alone at this time, this would have to be done by changing the tilt of the wall. As a workaround, you can use the wall shape to set the angle you need > place the door in the wall > copy and paste the door where needed as it will remain at the angle set within the wall.

I can definitely see how this functionality could be improved, though!
