atul Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 hi friends .i need your help with this . 1) i have created a path in rectangular spline with radius at the corners. 2)then i creat a box which is long in length . now i need to move this box on the rectangular spline .the problem is the box is to be shown as if it is connected at 2 positions on a chain over head conveyor. i i used path constrain to determine the path of motion . so one of the position move ok with path constrain but the othe position goes out. could any body help with it steps. pls see the pic 3) alternatively i tried to mark each point of motion of the part on the conveyor and also i sucedded in the animation but when i trie to copy similar objects on the path i realised i had to do an overall process over again(waist of enery and time and stamina) pl guide me if my methods are wrong Quote
atul Posted May 22, 2009 Author Posted May 22, 2009 the path of the part in the above fig is managed by the first verticle blue line ...i had to use attach command from editpoly ....only after i fixed the first blue line to path constrain . but some how the second blue line does not come on the path at the curves Quote
spittle Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 try inserting a dummy helper, and stretch it and position it like I've drawn on the JPEG. then link your object to the dummy, now when you move the dummu, it will move your object now add the path constraint to the dummy Quote
