ilogic multiple input selection

Anonymous
Not applicable

I want to control the shape of a 4 sided box, using 8 different inputs. 4 angles and 4 side lengths.

but doing so will overconstrain it, therefore i need it to select only enough to fully constrain the shape, and then ignore the rest.

 

Is this possible?

Maybe...

How is whatever "it" is going to decide what to ignore?

Why do you need to have more inputs than required to fully define a shape?

and more...

 

If you had an actual example of said shape and an example of specific inputs this question would likely be much easier to answer..

Hi! I guess you may want to use Direct -> Face -> Move or Rotate instead. In this way, you can manipulate the geometry directly as opposed to changing sketch dimensions or feature parameters.

Many thanks!
