Door Frame
Does anyone know the best way of making a door frame for the round portal doors? If so it would be great to see it in here.

Manual Creation
I hate that in all the Portal 2 tutorials, the tutorial is: "use the instance".

However, if someone would take his time to also write a manual creation off the door (and not just the simple prop) with how to make sure the area-portals works, so that further tweaks might be added I would be greatful, and I'm sure a lot of more people would be too.
Also, could someone explain why the instance doesn't use the prop_testchamber_door, but uses two brushes with the door face on them?
