General Question Vector & Rotation Points?

Got it. Post your ini then I'll make the changes and repost it.

The meshes were different slightly, but why do you have the angles different for each of the doors ? Just curious

 

[Saturn V]

I just haven't done the final corrections yet.

Okay, here's the result...

As you can see, the left door rotates perfectly and looks fantastic. However, the right door "caves in" when activated. If I change the 3rd coordinate of the ROT AXIS to a negative value to indicate rotation in the opposite direction, I get the result on the right.

Any idea what I've got going on there?

Got it! Had to change the first & second coordinates to a positive value in addition to making the third a negative.

Works like a charm now. Thanks a million....

Or you could just make the angle negative

 

[Saturn V]

Hadn't thought of that, but it's working now in any case. Thank you again.

No problem
