How would I make a door swing open or close smoothly? I'm thinking I would have to use the rotate edge formula, but I don't know that.

Since this has been asked before, I'll just copy and paste my answer from another question.
Here's how you rotate a part around a point (or in your case, a door).
part.CFrame = origin*rotation*(origin:inverse()*part.CFrame)
origin is the point (CFrame, not Vector3) you're rotating around, and rotation is the CFrame you're rotating by.
You can use a simple for loop to make it open smoothly.
local origin = CFrame.new(Door.Position - Vector3.new(Door.Size.X/2,0,0))
for i = 1, 18 do
Door.CFrame = origin * CFrame.Angles(0,math.rad(90/18),0) * (origin:inverse()*Door.CFrame)
wait()
end

That worked. Thanks.
