I already knew how to make a door... but I really want to know how you can make it just swing open in one direction. It should be openable from both sides, but only open to one side.

The dev/measuredoor texture doesn't exist in my editor, im using CS:S, is it simply a Hl2 texture, or have i to do something to set up my editor to encompass this. ( i set up my editor before the full SDK was released)

Filter "measure" (w/o quotes), without any keywords, then a lot of measure textures will appear, although they don't appear in the "Dev" keyword section.

I would like to say "Well Done!"

This is a brilliant introduction to rotating doors for newbies and a reference for experienced alike.

I have learnt now how not to use an origin brush!

Very nice, I tried it as you wrote it to see if it made any sense, and it was easy to follow. One thing you may add in there is the grid size. Make sure to tell people to adjust there grid size when making those cuts. If they dont they will never get the cuts right. Over all a very good TUT.

Hey drglass, I found a nice sound and texture, but how can I make the texture match inside the frame? It is all distorted and looks bad when I apply it to the sides, bottom, and top (but it is the same as the door, and the outside of the frame)

Best to find a solid texture or a close match and apply that to the inside of the door frame. Truth is that as long as it doesn't stand out people don't see it. Run through hl2 and use console command "impulse 103" (0r 4,5,6) to see what texture they used.
