This tool is useful for simulating anything that needs a hinge-like constraint, such as a swing.

You need to create an RBD object to apply this constraint to before you can use this tool.

1. Click the RBD Hinge Constraint tool on the Rigid Bodies tab.

2. Select the object to constrain and press Enter to confirm your selection.

3. Select the position for the hinge constraint and press Enter to confirm your selection.

   Note

   You can hold Alt to detach the constraint from the construction plane.

4. Set the direction for the hinge using the handle in the scene view or by setting the Constraint Direction parameters in the parameter editor.

1. Click the Dynamics Select Mode button on the selector and handle controls toolbar.

2. Click the constrained object in the scene view.

3. Click the Dynamics Select Mode button and turn on the Dynamics Modifiers checkbox.

   

4. Click the constraint you want to edit and press Enter to display the transformation handles.

1. Click the Dynamics Select Mode button on the selector and handle controls toolbar.

2. Click the constrained object in the scene view.
