Constraint nodes that have a wrapping surface between them

Post by Mojtaba Mirakhorlo » Thu Oct 29, 2015 2:56 am

Hi,

I want to define a constraint between two points . distance between them should be constant. There is a wrapping surface between these two nodes, so It is not possible to use "ConstantDistanceConstraint".
In other words I need a constraint that take account the wrapping surface as well.
Do you have any suggestions?

Hi Mojtaba,

If you want the distance between two nodes to stay the same, then ConstantDistanceConstraint is what you want. The wrapping surface has absolutely no effect on constraints between two points.

If you are wanting a path element length to be constrained (over a wrapping surface or not) there isn't an OpenSim constraint that does that.

Cheers,
-James
