What am I doing wrong?

I'm going through the tutorial and in the Pool Room, the flyby cameras open the door no problem, but when Lara goes to swim through it, there's some sort of an invisible barrier stopping her. It's really hacking me off. What would be causing this?

You need to make sure your ceiling-floor ratio is correct, and you have selected the doors corrently. Also note that you need to select transparency for water. See the manual for greater detail.

I've read your problem and am a little confused... Do you actually see the gate open and can you see into the next room in the flyby? Then, are you saying that Lara is able to dive into the pool and swim up to the opening but isn't able to swim through the doorway?

Few things possable here, you haven't made the door correctly, or the TRLE has screwed it up, so try removing the door, as in black box,
I am assuming that you are swimming from one room into another, so check that the next room is water, the w button should be enabled.
I am writing a water tutorial for my website soon,

If the room you swim into wasn't set as "W"ater, you would swim into "Air" and then fall into either air or water in the area below. I'm curious as to which room he placed the door in initially. It has to be placed in the room that you swim into for it to work right.

Thanks for all the help guys. Got it worked out now. I'd neglected to enable the "W" button, to tell the program that it was water, and it actually made the water on the other side of the gate solid. Interesting program. Thanks again.
