Operating Roundhouse Doors

[TheKman]

I'm designing a roundhouse and would like the doors to be able to open and close. I know this is considered animation. This venture would be a first. I've never done animation. Can anyone point to some tutorials or sources to do the necessary steps to make the doors operational? I'll be using 3DC 9, to do the animation. I'm not a Blender guy by the way and not going that route to do this. Not a fan of the program, sorry guys. Also, would the doors, a total of 9, have to be individual .igs files? Thanks.
