Hi kellytoons
Yes i tried that but in my example the door doesnt stay closed that way
In my experience
Most doors (depending on how close they are to a second wall only open around 90 dtegrees before hitting that wall
If they are in the middle of a wall then opening 180 degrees would break the hinges
Also most doors only open on one direction from the wall. They have a frame they fit into stopping them from opening the other way
Thats why i chose -170 to 0 for my door

There are exceptions of course so yes. You need to choose whatever numbers fit your situation

Now i better get to work. Lol

It's good to see people cooperating to find a solution WITHIN iClone...:P

...being a simple kinda guy I would just keyframe the door to do what is needed .  I guess I missed something but I'm not sure why you would need physics to do this..?

You dont need to use physics to accomplish that and keyframing is certainly a legitimate way to do it. I usually do it by key framing as well but the question raised my interrest. I must say i quite liked how it works with physics though and it probably makes it simpler by not having to keyframe. I just animated the character and the door just responded to that animation. Havent done it often enough though to make my mind up whether i prefer it with physics or keyframing. I guess there could be usefullness both ways. It was fun doing it and increased my experience with physics. Thats something.

My criteria is usually... will it look believable and how long will it take to accomplish :P

This one probably hinges (sorry :P ) around wether or not the door requires the turning of a door-knob. Nothing like a reach target with rotation and an animated doorknob!

I'm guessing the OP is still awaiting an easy to follow answer though  ;)
