[Papervision3D] Rotation on axis

[Darek Senkow]

I'd say- make an object of equal size on x and z axis, and somewhat  
tall on the y axis- a rectangle or cylinder or whatever. This object  
will actually be the "hinge" of your door.

 From there, attach the door as a child object to your hinge with a x  
and z position (relative to the hinge) in such a way that one side of  
the door sits along the y axis of the hinge. I imagine when it's all  
positioned correctly it would actually look like a door sitting on a  
single hinge.

At that point, all you have to do is modify the hinge's rotationY and  
the door will open and close- as it will be a child of the hinge and  
utterly dependent upon the hinge itself. Then use a tween object to  
animate the hinge rotation and you've got a nice looking door moving  
as a real one would.

To me this would be the easiest solution.
