Creation of Doors

Please can anybody tell me how to create the door opening feature of doors from the library?

I tried exporting one of those and importing to Art of Illusion, but it just looked like my created door with no indication of the door swing/direction.

This information isn't in the 3D model file, but in the PluginFurnitureCatalog.properties file of a SH3F file.
Please read the two following threads to get information about the parameters that will help you to achieve this:

Don't hesitate to ask more questions if you don't succeed to use one of these properties.

Hi Emmanuel, sorry if I've sent this twice, but I think I blew it. My door is within a frame of windows which complicates matters. Is there any kind of diagram showing which parameters for the properties mentioned in the thread apply where. I tried it and got my drawn door and the door swing and blue highlight completely out of alignment.

This is what I am trying to model.

If you want to open the door in the frame shown in the screen capture you posted, you have to use an other program able to edit the 3D model file you imported. Sweet Home 3D is unable to move some parts within a given 3D model.
