How have they done this?

Hiya, when looking at RSC's diesel models, there are often doors that protrude along the side of the engine. When it is mapped on a texture it smoothly fits in like it's not even there, is there any way to know how this is done?
Examples include the EMD SD70's the GP9, and the Dash-9.

I believe when they map it, they just map the entire 'visible' face, so the entire side + the doors etc. It's very useful at times where you've got weird and wonderful curves that swoosh about all over the place.

Map the entire face in one go, or alternatively you could stitch the door mapping into the body's UVW space at a later time.

Ah, I see, this must be why the doors along the side do not have a flat edge sticking out then.
