I can understand Doyle's impatience, but I also am aware that making good LDraw
parts is difficult. The tools available are not like mainstream 3D design
tools. That could also be a contributing factor.
As far as the Castle doors go, if John is referencing the 2400 and 6105 doors,
yes, those were done but had some problems.
The author of those has just resubmitted a much-improved 2400 door. I am not
sure of the status of the 6105 door.

| (...) LDraw (...) I see you have a lot of patience in waiting for a part too. The thing is I am working on a project that is costing me about $4000.00 to $6000.00 and I can complete it without the door because the instructions for it are made layer (...) (25 years ago, 15-Jun-99, to lugnet.cad)
