Rubik's Cube

[K4D]

Ok i've modeled this rubik's cube and It wont spin even though (i'm pretty sure) i've constrained it properly

 

Been stuck on it for a while so would appreciate it if someone would look at it and see if I did mess up something

 

I can't post websites so I jsut attached the link to the download in a .txt it's 1.07mb or somethign so i couldn't upload it here

the file in question is Cube_3.iam

 

thanks in advance, K4D

Won't let me download it ?

 

Got it! just having a look.

 

Your model is great well done, I really think (having a quick look) the contraints are the problem, to solve it may be a bigger problem (no pun intended) I will have aplay with it and see what I can do, I would like to hear from JD, Aardvark and Swift to see what they think to making this work?

Thanks, used my trusty ruler and took apart my own cube =)

tried to get it as realistic as possible, but yeah the constraints are a nightmare, have had to redo them 3 times so far hence Cube_3 lol

I just don't want to have to keep redoing them without someone else giving me advice on it as i seem to always mess it up

I will need to take it apart the redo the constraints with angle constraints, then drive the angle constraint to 90 degree a time, this is the only way I think it will work, it's quite complex but would be wicked to see it working.

Your sketches are not constrained - I would start here http://home.pct.edu/~jmather/AU2007/MA105-1L%20Mather.pdf

I don't have inventor on this computer but I was fairly sure I had my sketches constrained...

and reading through that tutorial doesn't look like anything too new to me so not sure where you want me to start in there, it's a nice tutorial though!
