I was browsing around and found something else instead - a sliding door made with only one prim!
A sliding door is interesting since, well, it slides...most that I have seen are made of two prims: one for the frame and a single actual sliding door. The sliding effect of these two-prim sliding doors is close to how a typical evevator door works - slides to one side.
This one prim door was neat since it looks like there are two doors that open from the center and move to the sides of the frame.
Inspired to see how this works, I started to experiment. I figured out how to make the door after a few tries (hint: combination of hollow and taper) and needed a script to open and close it. About 5 minutes later - I got it working :)
I think there comes a point where SL clicks and things suddenly become a lot easier. Not easy...easier :) There is always something to learn - that is the challenge and fun of it. I am making things now that I used to buy . . . very cool.
