I've made a door which uses CFrame to open,however,the door parts are already rotated with CFrame,so when i change their position with CFrame,the rotation changes as well.Is it possible to keep the rotation unchanged?

What CFrame code are you using? To keep it the way it's supposed to be you need have the full matrix in your CFrame code.

I was changing its position with CFrame.new() so should i use this;CFrame.new(x, y, z, R00, R01, R02, R10, R11, R12, R20, R21, R22) ?

Yes you need the matrix to set the right angles. Then it should stay in place. If you use CFrame.new(x,y,z) the part always faces forward.

for i = 1,#game.Selection:Get() do game.Selection:Get()[i].CFrame = game.Selection:Get()[i].CFrame * CFrame.new(0,0,0)* CFrame.Angles(math.rad(0), math.rad(0), math.rad(0)) end I believe this command is for a selected part. Change the numbers to position the selected part. I myself CFrame the same way you do I'm still learning ,and have yet to try myself. Sorry for delay I was trying to find the command. Try "theopfor's CFraming guide" in the Building Helpers Forum.

If it's in a script then do something like this: script.Parent.CFrame=script.Parent.CFrame+Vector3.new(0,NUMBAH,0) I dunno so much about the keeping the angle though.
