How are relationships between two or more objects established and defined? How is a hierarchy created for these relationships, so that compound systems of linked objects move in a logical, user-defined manner? To use human anatomy as an example, the main trunk of the body would be defined as Parent,…

Here are some threads: [image] How to do complex, multipart design with shapr3d Need help? We are here. I see lots of example designs of engines with multiple interconnected parts and pipe/tubing stringing around and it looks lovely… only I don’t know how this can be done…

This has to do primarily with animating a design. How the parts of a system maintain their relative position over a timeline. Does this functionality exist within Shapr?

Hi, We don’t have dynamic constraints at the moment. You can align parts together, but if one of them is moved away, the others will not follow.

Is it on the roadmap? When you say ’ at the moment’, does that mean its not a priority at all? This would be very useful to me, I’ve requested it a few times over the, well, years now…

Hey @jb7 , I cannot tell you any exact dates or details except that we are already working on the topic.
