You make the 'centre' of the func_door the edge
There is a little circle in the middle of it (2d view) drag that to the point you wan't it to rotate around
(I think this is right, if not I'm completely loosing it)

yea i already tried that and yea it works but now if someone opens the door, then i have that pesky no_draw brush sticking out so people will run into it (the brush is acting as an invisible wall) if the door is 'open' or being 'opened'

to act as the func_door_rotating entity because a door model cannot become a func_door_rotating

see this is problem. i put the no_draw to glass so it can be seem in-game for experimenation purposes. you can see how hte 'glass' would swing out and cause interferance

You need to move the circle from the middle to the edge, the circle is the axis of rotation.

correctamundo,
the axis of rotation is otherwise known as the origin.

see the func_door_rotating is almost just what you want, but i believe you have the wrong idea about how it functions.

i believe what you want is prop_door_rotating
