At the end I implemented the doors with fully "self-adjusting" macros
That is: If you change one of the parameters then gives you a correct
door back. parameters for instance describe overal sizes, curvature of
the arcs, number and directions of the radials, patern tile generation
and repeats in X and Y. et-cetera.

Should have done that directly maybe instead of waisting a lot of time
by "hand-fitting" curved and rounded pieces of wood together over and
over...

The scene doesn't do too bad for a single light-source, no-radiosity indoor
scene. What helps are the rounded decorations and a fading light source.
I normally use a sort of "cheap radiosity" to improve scenes but left
it out in this one.

Regards, Hans.

DAMN nice.
So, when can I move in? :-)

I'm finding also that it's worth spending the effort to make good 
macros, especially if you have to leave a project for a while.  While 
you're working on it, it's easy to make adjustments, but, at least for 
me, a few weeks later, I'm scratching my head, trying to figure out all 
of the parameters that need changing, to make a simple adjustment.

This whole entryway is very nice.  I'm glad I don't have to dust it ;-)
