HI

a more simple example of "follow me" like movement

un exemple , plus simple , de mouvement type "suivez la trajectoire"

Chri

FOLLOWMELIKE.skp

pilou

Exactly!

pilou

For simulate the follow of a longer piece
Make first a translation (here front to the middle of the piece) then rotate!

Press image for see animation!

A same Movement can be reused! Here the rotation!
(of course an only 270° can be also work! )

Hi

a trick
in the next example the three box 4 rotate arround the box 1 (with orange frame).
if the box 1 move , the three box 4 rotate ... and follow the box 1 .
( parts and pivot are attached during all movements )

Un truc
Dans l'exemple suivant les trois boîtes 4 tournent autour de la boite1 (avec cadre orange).
Si la boite 1 se déplace , les trois boîte 4 tournent ... et suivent la boite 1.
( les pièces et le pivot sont liés pour tous les mouvements )

Pour simuler le "suivez-moi" d'une piéce longue , faire en premier , une translation ( ici , jusqu'au milieu de la piece ) , puis une rotation !

HI

Another one to check the methodology
it take me about 30 minutes.

Thanks Fredo for this great present

I am right if i want object invisible during this little sequence?

ntxdave

Yes, you can do it. See below:
Click to play

However, if there is going to be an overlap, you will need to capture the layer visibility at the beginning and end of each sequence.

Hope this helps........

Same as ntxave

ntxdave

Chris, our responses overlapped. If you look at mine, you will see that you can also do it the way Pilou was asking about as long as there is no overlay with other visibilities.

BTW: You and Pilou have give me some feedback on another thread where I was trying to rotate and object (garage door) but I still cannot find a way in that situation that works correctly (where panels follow the "track" for the garage door). See this thread: How to rotate better
