    Is there a way to constrain component movement by one or more constraints? For example, I am designing a pantograph for my workshop:

    I would like to constrain the movements of the arms to pivot about their respective pivot points.Pantorouter.skp

      And, please upload your model as V6 (save as/sketchup version V6).

        Hello, Derwin Brown,

        Using MSPhysics, here is one way to attach constraints to it:
        Pantorouter.skp

        When you get MSPhysics installed and click the MSPhysics blue play button, you will have two controllers to control that thing.

        Regards,
        Anton

          Thank you for your reply. I have investigated the MSPhysics plugin (thanks to Anton_S) and it has help me with my design.

          Why do you want the model uploaded as V6? Is this a standard for model uploading?

            Some members still use SketchUp 6 and up so to make sure files can be opened it is always a good idea to save in earlier versions.

            SketchUp 6 is the Escort MkI of the CAD world.
