+**Summary**
+VTE_tg1_door is the selection in Resolution LOD.
+axis_door is the memory point in Memory LOD.
+**Note about Geometry LOD**
+When you animate a door, in Geometry LOD it has to have ComponentXX and also the selection name like in our above example VTE_tg1_door, otherwise when you open the door it wont let you pass as geometry doesn't recognize anything happening.
