Fix polyline to coordinate

Anonymous

Hi all - I'm making a dynamic block representing a standardized drawer with a manipulatable height, length, and width, from multiple angles. Client demands that the grips stay aligned as closely as possible to their intended positions on the geometry, and currently increasing the depth from a top-down angle increases the depth in the side view by growing outwards from the center of the block when it should instead stretch the block by the same amount. This screws up the parametric grips, which are designed to deal with a block that grows rightwards from the origin. Is there any way to fix the left side of my geometry to x = 0? That way when the depth increases, the block grows rightwards.

Thanks. I hope this makes sense.

Get rid of all of the constraints (both geometric and dimensional) and instead use dynamic parameters and actions.  See screencast:
