    Hi all. I have build two doors, but they are not parallel to X or Y, they are actually at 45 degree angle. I need to build an animation in Unity where the doors close and open, but I am not sure how to move them at 45 degree just by using move tool. Is there a way to align the move tool to the object - like in Maya? Thank you.

    Yes, make an empty gameobject and then make door child of it. Don't forget to first position it.
    I don't know if that can be animated though

    Also try changing from global to local. There's a button along the top. That's assuming that your object wasn't actually modeled at 45 degrees.
