I’m wondering if there is any discussion of adding a Joint function to Shapr.
The addition of the align tool, with multiple bodies as well, has me thinking that a Joint constraint could be applied to bodies and assemblies in a similar way.
Basic rotational and linear joints, with or without motion limits. This would allow the modeling of linkages in a suspension system for example. Or to demonstrate the function of a design with moving parts. This would be very useful for multipart designs that pivot or slide.
I have drawn sketches, and playing with the constraints to get the sketch to move in a simulated motion behavior is VERY tedious and one dimensional.
I have designed assemblies that have moving parts in shapr, and to try and demonstrate their function I can only move one part or group or parts (folder) at a time, by selecting them and moving the gizmo to the feature I want to define as the movement origin. For rotation as an example.
This is just a thought, and again I was just curious if it’s been or being considered.
