0 AndiACD Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Yep, an age old need from pre "Machine Design" module days Still just as necessary now! Fully fledged PCs would be really nice. Quote Link to comment
0 bcd Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Completely agree on this one You can constrain your furniture to the wall though if it's a hybrid symbol. Quote Link to comment
0 VincentCuclair Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 It would also help if we could constrain windows and doors on different stories ie. Move the window on story 1 and windows on stories 2, 3, 4 etc move accordingly. Quote Link to comment
0 Christiaan Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 You can constrain your furniture to the wall though if it's a hybrid symbol. Yeap, but as always with symbols it's an all-or-nothing approach. With constraints you could control the distance for each instance. With symbols inserted in walls it's one distance for each symbol.

0 bcd Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I'm all for 3d constraints. But you can control each hybrid symbol instance individually using the current constraints. Quote Link to comment
0 Christiaan Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Sure, but the request here is for constraining 3D symbols, not hybrid. Quote Link to comment
0 bcd Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I know. But Chris did mention furniture to walls so I thought that it may be helpful for those who would like to learn that this is currently possible for any 2d object including hybrids while we all eagerly await the much desired 3d-constraints.

Question
Chris D
The constraints feature doesn't currently work with 3D objects except walls.
I'd like to see parametric constraints available for all 3D objects including 3D symbols and PIOs.
Imagine a furniture object that is constrained to always sit a certain distance from a wall for instance
Or objects that are constrained to sit a certain distance from other objects on a trigger class.
Another step towards intelligence basically.
