Help Setting Limits on Rotational Joint (f3d attached)

[tookemtoni]

Hello, I get close to setting this hinge limits of 0 to 110 degrees but how can one get it exact?  See screenshots and f3d file.

Zooming in on your pictures, the Joint flag is labelled with current position.

First is -7, Second is 122 degrees,

Drive Joint will read off correct numbers, too,

these (or required) numbers get plugged into Edit Joint limit options.

(Something wrong with your Maths? Or a typo?, 90 + 10 is 100.)  

No access to the file for sometime.

Might help.....

In the video I detail the method I would use to set the limits of movement your desire.  At the end of the video I tried to drag the movement which has the potential to overshoot the limits.  After that I animated the model and it moves correctly withing the joint limits.  If you wish a different angle simply change the angle of the plane I created.  I am attaching the model but be careful, it is an F3Z file so you must upload it to use it.  Do not overwrite your data, use a separate folder.
