Constraints

Constraint HELP

Is there a way to mate a point to curve and have it follow the curve.

I have a cylinder of x length that I want to make travel thru a pipe so as to check the bend radius of the pipe to see if the cylinder will make thru the pipe.

If anyone has been to Costco and have seen the way they "suck" the money tubes up the pipes. Thats the idea.

Try the "Transitional" assembly constraint.

You can mess around with transitional constraints,
but you will probably end up frustrated!

 

I have put a sample file in iCF,  may give you
some idea's on how to determine sizes.

I've posted a simple assembly in IV-CF that uses
transitional constraints to demonstrate this.
