    Hello Jean.

    YES. open the door specifications box for the door you want opened. go to the options tab, and check "draw open" in the 3D display section. it will show as open according to the plan swing angle

    Yep. I always show doors open when I show a floor overview to a client....sometimes for an interior rendering or raytrace.

    True though - BiFold doors don't show open....also pocket doors show open - but the door panel is all the way in the wall, I would prefer them to be partially opened so you can see the slab in the view....
