Dynamic Double Door Block - Right Door Leaf Stretch Angle Issue

Greetings! 

 

I’m a dynamic block novice, but thanks in no small part to quite a few screencasts from @Libbya that I found on this forum, I’ve managed to cobble together a dynamic double door block that’s just short of accomplishing what I need it to do. But, I've just hit a roadblock that I can’t quite figure out how to solve.

 

The block I’ve assembled has several different visibility states to showcase different swing angles (30°, 60°, 90°, 120°, 150°, and 180°) as I stretch or contract the block to different door widths. If I stretch the block, everything stretches/scales/works as I would expect/want it to as long as I keep the two door leaves of equal size.

 

My problem pops up with the right door leaf whenever I try to use the mid-point grip to change the sizes of the two doors (essentially, whenever I need to stretch this point so that one door leaf is wider than the other). More specifically, even though the right door’s swing arcs are scaling correctly, the door leaf itself doesn’t stretch appropriately at any angle other than 90° or 180° when doing this. Could anyone lend me a hand with how to correct this? Thank you!

Reporting back in case anyone finds this post, because I think I may have figured out the problem. I also did some further refining and I think this block is now near perfect for my needs. I'm attaching the updated version in case it's of use to anyone. Of course, I'd also be glad to receive any feedback on how to further optimize it.

 

The one thing I'd like to add for it to be 100% where I'd like it to be is the ability to flip the block, since I haven't quite figured out how to do that and keep it working properly. I'll keep playing with it to see if I can work it out myself, but in the meantime, I'll just commit to mirroring it manually.

Great block - have you updated it?
