That is your full solution to all of those questions and drawings? I'm not expecting you to get full marks for that solution...
 
No, that was for a) only.

Well, first of all it's not correct (insufficient explanation of the door motion). Second, part a) asks for you to draw a number of things. Try again? :smile:
