AddConstraint (Kinematics)

Description

Adds a constraint to the 3d object.

Scripting Syntax

Kinematics.AddConstraint( Preset, Sources, [Compensation], [TargetOffset], [SourceOffset] )

C# Syntax

Constraint Kinematics.AddConstraint( Object in_cnsPreset, Object in_cnsning, Boolean in_bComp, Object in_offsetCnsned, Object in_offsetCnsning );

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
Preset	String or preset object (see SIGetPreset) or Expression	Constraint Preset to add to object
Sources	X3DObject, X3DObjectCollection or XSICollection	Object(s) that will act as constrainers
Compensation	Boolean	Compensation mode, True to turn on compensation. Default Value: False
TargetOffset	SIVector3 or Array	Target Attachment Point (Distance, Position constraints).
SourceOffset	SIVector3 or Array	Source Attachment Point (Distance, Position, Surface, Trajectory constraints). Rotation Offset (Orientation constraint), Translation Offset (Direction constraint), Scaling Offset (Scaling constraint)

Return Value

Constraint

Examples

VBScript Example

Dim oRoot, oNull, oSphere
set oRoot = Application.ActiveProject.ActiveScene.Root
set oNull = oRoot.AddNull
set oSphere = oRoot.AddGeometry("Sphere","MeshSurface")
set oConstaint = oSphere.Kinematics.AddConstraint( "Position", oNull, False, Array(0,45.0,90.0) )
