How to limit movement?

Hey friends,

I want to create a driving sketch for a foldable table. I would like to limit the movement of the table and foot to 90°. In the video I attached you can see the basic principle. How can I restrict the possible movement of one point to my quarter circle? When I exit the boundaries, it just elongates the circle line … And when it hits a 90°/0° point, it snaps to constraints … Difficult task. Looking forward to your suggestions! Thanks :slight_smile:

Shapr does not have that kind of constraint unless someone knows a way with variables.

You can use control spline for that. Not perfect but work.

That’s brilliant. Thanks, I’ll try that and report here!

… still trying to figure out how you did it … gonna keep you posted! Any other suggestions, keep em comin :slight_smile:

At some point the leg part snaps to the surface part and won’t split again …

BTW, why is the video linked externally? Up above it worked like a charm …

That’d be lovely, too!

Looks like wrong constraints somewhere…
