Link an object to a door

[Anonymous]

Hi, i have created  pivoted doors and i would like to link some doors handles i have created. But it doesn't work, if i open the door, the handles do not follow.

If i move the entire door, the handles follow but if i use the attribute open, it doesn't work.

Can you explain how you've rigged it? That would help diagnose. 

Basically, have two parts, a door that swings open and a handle. 

1. Create a 'point' helper and 'Select and Link' to link it to the door in the spot where you want the handle. 

2. Now, link your handle to that 'point' helper. 

The handle should now follow the door.

Hi, thank you for your answer.

I have joined an example, and i need to precise that this is a 3ds Max AEC Door, i open the door with the attribute Open.

Thanks!

Hi. You should link the dummy to the door using an "Attachment Constraint". This will link the dummy to a specific face of the door (by your choise) and therefore it will follow the door when it opens. Now link the handle to the dummy and the handle follows the door.

For further explanation heres a link to help-files regarding Attachment Constraint:
