I have this door, its a circular green door, and now I need to surround it with bricks. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I got about this?

Yes... Short answer: Take a cylinder or something of the same shape as the door, make it Negative, and boolean it with a Positive thing of bricks. Longer answer: 1) Get your birck material, apply it to a terrain or a cube. If you have more than one object with the brick material, and are afraid part of one willshow up in the doorspace, select each object and make it positive. Select those objects and group them, then make this group positive. This would be a boolean addition. 2) Now take the a circular shaped object and get it to fill the required space the door would take up. Select it and make it negative, then group with the positive bricks. Viola, a hole-y doorframe. Hope this works.

You could also make a lattice, draw the bricks in by making a dark gray grid, then paint your door shape in in black
