forgive this noob question, I am working on a door and am trying to get it to open when touched, I have found a sample door and see that it is using a axel as a pivot point, How do I attach the door Prim to the Axel Prim I have tried to link them like the sample door and the axel is still the only part that pivots
Thanks in Advance

I'd recommend not using any type of axle. A door really only needs to be one prim. The key is getting it to rotate in the right place, at the edge instead of at the middle. The way to do that is quite simple; just cut the door in half.

The pivot point of a prim is always its center, so you know. Cutting a prim in half effectively turns the center into an edge.
