Fixing / constraining base point

[Anonymous]

Hi guys,

again i got a block that has a minor issue. The attached block is working exactly as i like, it is slight "overconstrained" but i noticed with rigurous testing that this seemed the best way to constraining it. 

The only problem with it is that my base/insertion point keeps moving around when i change to different kind of SHS/RHS sections. I'd like to keep it at the bottom left corner (0,0,0). Any ideas on how to fix it? 

Many thanks in advance!

hi!

I don't know how to do this with constraints therefore try this block

I added construction lines on the x and y axis and then put co-linear constraints on the edges that you want to stay locked to those axes.  See if this does what you need.

Thanks Paul!

It works perfectly now! Strange thing is that i tried to solve it like this as well but i didnt got it working.. Will have o look deeper into it what my different approach to it was.
