Parent constraint not moving multiple objects.

[mark.nunn]

Ok guys, so i am trying a work around to move multiple objects via parent constraint because there is an issue(BUG) with vertex snapping manipulator of a selected object. so my plan was to create a grp node, move to corner of object. and parent constraint multiple objects to that group node. and move them all at once. when i move it only one box moves the others stay in place. this is maya 2022 the updated version. I know i can grp all them together and move but my object are divided up into grp'd sections the animate. does anyone else have any isuue moving multiple objects with a parent constraint?

Hi!

Could it be that you only have 1 Parent constraint going from all the other objects to the one that moves instead of multiple parent constraints going from your driver to each other object?

In order to constraint all the objects to one you need to always select the driver object first and then one other object. You can't parent constrain all objects at once because that will make all other objects the parents of the last object.

If that wasn't the issue, could you share a screenshot of your expanded outliner Hierarchy and/or the file in question as a zipped .ma file?

Also, if you could elaborate a bit more on the issue with the vertex snapping manipulator I might be able to help. I have the same version as you but vertex-snapping seems to work fine, so it doesn't seem to be an unsolvable problem.

I hope this helps!

You are right, This ones on me, I could have sworn you could select the Driver then multiple objects to be driven. But tested it in earlier releases and it is a no go. I need a coffee.
