If you are looking for animation in that the doors swing open as you approach them, Revit does not do that.

If you want to set them to a static open position, then you need to use a door family that allows for setting the door panel swing angle in 3D.  The ones from the Revit library do not have that option, you can find some on this site I believe and some have been posted out on www.augi.com.

Doors families in particular are in sore need of a serious upgrade by Autodesk as they are not useful as provided in the Revit library.
