Curves and Doors

Sure, you can. You'll have to play around with an origin brush on the door and scripts to move it properly, and it might cause some problems with culling, but it's doable.

 

Figured I'd post this shot of what I want to do. The highlighted brushes would be one side of the door and it would open outwards.

As in it would slide open inside the rest of the curved wall? I'm not sure how well it would fit with a brush-made patch structure - it might glitch through the walls. Anyway, you can experiment making the doors, plus one origin brush for each door at the center of the elevator, so that you'd just have to make a script to rotate it of, say, about 20 degrees in the right directions when it opens, and back to the original angles when it closes.

I'm also not sure how well such a door would do with portals - the doors in BlueIce Nightfall, if I remember correctly, had a few brushes as the physical door and an invisible, proper door for the culling. Only tests will tell.
