Multi-Point Joint?

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I have an assembly (tubing stack) that has four standoffs that have to connect to my bottom deck. How do I get this to align with all four holes on the deck when I create a joint? I need the four standoffs to act like a single component for the purposes of assembly. The eight standoffs need to be with the tubing stack because I will have five of these interconnecting two decks for my robot.

Please export your file as a .f3d and attach to your next post.

With your browser collapsed it is hard to judge how your assembly is structured.

In general, you only need two joints to conect your quat standoff to one of the 4-hole patterns. 2 revolute joints, should be all that's needed.

Hi,

You gave me the key to make this work! I used two revolute joints, and everything connected together perfectly. Thanks!

I think I understand what you might be asking.  You have a rigid set of components in your standoff, with 4 "feet" and you want to know how to align the feet with holes in the plate?  Is that correct?  If so, you can do this with revolute joints - just create a revolute joint with one of the feet, and then another with a second "foot" and a second hole.  Something like this:

Hope this helps,

Hi,

I've seen the video you made, but i'm using windows and tried to do the same thing as you done and in my project it doesn't make the same assumptions as yours does... If you could help I'll be thankfull

PS.: Send the file in question in attachment

can yo attach an .f3d file format instead of the .rar?
