cannot rotate door on hinge

Question

Hello, I would like to make a door in unity. First , I create a cube and adjust it shape to look like a door. and it can rotate from a middle. So I googling and find that I must do an empty/cube object and make it as a hinge at the side of the door, then let object door to be a child of the hinge.seem to be simple right? but I still cannot rotate it from the side, the rotate point is still at the center of the door.

in short : door's rotate position take over hinge's rotate position even door is a child object of a hinge. alt text

Your editor is in Center mode and not pivot mode. In the upper left of the editor you see tow buttons , Center and Local. Press the Center button to change the editing tools to use the objects pivot and not the center of the objects group.

Hi rorocrocky,

I think a better solution would be to use a joint.
