Can someone help, I have been working on a project car, and I really want gull wing doors, like that of the delorean. I know about the dummies, and placing them. I have worked on this for about 2 days straight with little sleep. I searched the forums here and at other sites. but nothin. I have seen it done, so I know it works. But just not for me. So I ask for your help.
Im not new here, or to modding, I am hoping to become good at this. I would also like to start posting my new creations. I hope the rest of the modding fans like some of my work.
Help here would be really great. I have a few ideas for these doors if only i can get them to work.

Hmm, you should try contacting STM. He is a skilled modeller and may be able to help you out.

You're gonna kick yourself it's so easy.
I'm presuming you're using ZModeller
You have to rotate the local axis of the door dummies through 90 degrees, so the doors hinge up instead of out.
Select the appropriate dummy.
go to display>local axis>rotate in the drop down menu
rotate the axis in the side view 90 degrees.
done.
Hope this helps.

i've tried what you said and like all the other attempts the doors still open outward and not upward.

make sure you are rotating the local axis properly. If you're sure. try rotating the local axis of the door itself too. If it still doesn't work, you're doing something wrong.
