Steve, Thanks for having a go at answering my question. However, I posed my question so poorly that you didn't stand a chance in Heck of giving me anything like the answer I'd hoped for. So, let me try again. First, I was trying to make a roof hatch that had the capability of setting a 3D swing for the door. That way, I could set the angle to, say, 90-degrees and it would display as open in the model. So, I'm trying to solve how you guys do that with your doors in an effort to reverse engineer what I need to do to accomplish this. I can create the two lines and specify the parametric angle between them. In the example of the DoorSingleFlush, this is the component named Seg_3DLeaf1Swing_1. My problem comes when I try and use positioners to place the door leaf component on the opening path and the swing angle path as shown here in the DoorSingleFlush example: I can get it the positioner to connect on the hinge side of the door opening path, but I cant get the door to connect to the door angle component. When the door leaf component is created, if the path was orthogonal (x-y plane), then PCStudio's "planar constraint" forces it to plane it was created in. I cannot get the positioner to proper identify itself with the Seg_3DLeaf1Swing_1 component so that it will swing. I've tried creating a door out of plane, but then I run into other problems in making the attachment. I think the door component must be made out of plane to make the whole thing work, but even when I do this, I don't seem to be able to make the proper connection with the swing component. As I said earlier, I know it must have something to do with the directional or planar constraint to a Path2d as well as the positioner setting for the component. I don't know if I explained it any better. Hopefully I did. And if I did, any suggestions as to how to make this work?
