Presentation Tweaks

Hello to all,

Is there any way to separate a directional tweak into two?

I have component A travelling along a plane for 2200mm. I want it to pause
while component B moves on another plane and then for component A to
continue on it's way for another 4000mm.

Am I totally missing something here or is it not do-able.

TIA,

Simon.

the quick answer is yes.

It shouldn't be any more complicated than adding 3 distinct tweaks in the
order that you described.

Thanks for the quick response Andy, how do I separate the tweaks?

I've tried applying one to get the 2200mm movement then I set the tweak for
the other component. When I then set the tweak for the continued movement of
component A and then play back, the first tweak runs right to the end before
component B has had a chance to move out of the way.

Goodness me, what a ramble, sorry about that!

Simon.

Never mind, I think I've sussed it and got the actions separated (more
through luck than judgement though).

Thanks,

Simon.

The trick is to fool IV. Tweak two items for the first. Now tweak the item
you want again. Delete the second item out of the first tweak. Another
trick is to rotate the item in between the two. Or do a small x or y if you
want two z tweak. Just remember to delete the dummy tweaks.

screen.

Thanks Kathy, that's the way I did it. Stuck in a 100mm X tweak then went
back & deleted it which separated the tweak ends. Cool.

Simon.
(I might drop the finished mpeg into CF group for you to see what I was up
to.)
