I have searched and not found a satisfactory answer yet.
I have a reasonably large assembly 700+ parts, that I need to make an attractive disassembly animation of. Think about demolishing a building - roof lifts off, moves to the side, fades away; various internal structures are lifted out, one at a time, same thing; similar action with some large equipment inside the building.
1st idea would be to use presentation mode, but the video quality there is abysmal at best; the customer vetoed that idea pretty quickly.
2nd idea is to animate it using inventor studio - but it wasn't assembled with the idea of animating it (it's a building being demolished, so why would they?), with many sub-assemblies. I need to animate individual parts, and animating components requires suppressing constraints, I think, but this doesn't seem to work in sub-assemblies.
So the questions from here are:
- How do I either move everything UP to the parent assembly (there are quite a few things with multiple copies, so "promote" isn't a slam dunk), or suppress ALL constraints in ALL subassemblies in the context of the studio environment without affecting the base assemblies?
- Is there a better option for animating this?
