barnes2000 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Is there anyway to establish an objects fixed pivot point? I'm talking about something different than just grabbing the rotate tool and rotating from the start point of that tool. For example, if I am creating a 3D crane, and I have a group that makes up one arm, and a group that makes up the second arm...how do I make it so that the second arm always pivots from the end of the first arm, like a real crane would do?

Ray Libby Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 How are you rotating the object? If you are using Modify menu>Rotate>Rotate... Placing a locus at the pivot point, selecting both, will use the locus as the pivot point. Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 What you really want is 3D constraints. They don't exist in VW2008. Keep your fingers crossed for VW2009. Pat Quote Link to comment
