Help with door block

[Grigs]

For some reason the scaling of the door arc doesn't quite work. Can someone look at it and give me insight on what's wrong?


Thanks

click on your ScaleArc action, and in the properties dialog box, change base point type from 'Dependant' to independent adn then make the base point the center of the arc.... right now, it is dependant on your parameter, which isn't the arc's center.

Thanks. That worked. Now I just have to redo all the other actions so they follow.

A new issue has cropped up. Whenever I flip the door, the stretch grip moves oddly.

Try including a new "Stretch" or "Move" action that includes your "Flip"
parameters.

The new action will use the "Distance1" parameter and will need to have
the "Distance Multiplier" set to .5

Did you ever get this to work, and if so, can I get a copy of the block in
2006 format?

Thanks!

I assume that the "stretch grip moves oddly" resulted from flipping which way the door swings open (left/right) and the odd movement was that the grip moved from where the arc joins the door jam (desired location) to a lower point.

I figured out how to fix it, I don't know exactly why, but the problem had to do with the end points of the distance parameter being at one y value and the stretch grip being at another y value.

By moving the end points of the distance parameter up to the horizontal line where the base point and the stretch grip are located, it fixed the problem.
