Zac Davis Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Im trying to align the part in the picture with the xz plan . so im using joints this time instead of constraints, alignment doesn't work for me . ive tried to choose first alignment the top plane of the bullet , then ive tried the origin of the part, it seems like everything is ok on the first alignment , i can see it chooses the correct plan and i get the red arrow indicating the direction , but the second alignment doesn't work for me . i tried also choosing the origin plane of other parts or their faces ..the part isnt aligned yet.

Lazer Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 It difficult to answer without the model you have on screen, when you align using this method it will only work if you are picking an planer face, edge or work geometry on or next to the component. You cannot pick a random surface. Hope this helps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zac Davis Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 What do you mean by "next" to the component ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zac Davis Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 As shown below may best explain [ATTACH=CONFIG]55381[/ATTACH] so i think ive got it , in the case of the saddle attached to the cylinder (like in my picture) the only way to align it is to the cylinder (pipe)origin plan (a pipe doesnt have any oriented face), so i did it and its working . thank you man! i think "joints" a great solution for many situations instead of many constraints Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
