Linking a doorknob to a door

Aaron2004 · January 16th, 2008

Hello,

I am using a door primitive and want to add a doorknob to it that moves with the door's swing. I can link the door knob to the door object itself, but not to the the particular element that I want. Is this possible?

Also, I've searched around to no avail. Are there custom add-ons/scripts for these door primitives? They seem pretty stripped down and could use a good revamping.

Thanks,
Aaron

You could collapse it with the door, keeping material ID's.

If you are using Max doors then you may have an issue with linking the door hardware. I haven't had any luck either with those.

Thank you, Julian. I am just going to detach the element that I want...it seems like I can't link the door knob to it in the state it's in right now.
