Patchwork 3D Enterprise 2021.1 X5

Animation Utility Objects

The movement of an animated group of surfaces is defined using one of the three utility objects: nulls, rotation axes, or translation vectors.

Nulls, rotation axes and translation vectors possess representations to help you to visualize them and to position them in the 3D space.

The Nulls possess representations to help you to visualize them and to position them in the 3D space.
Rotation axes possess representations to help you to visualize them and to position them in the 3D space.
Translation vectors possess representations to help you to visualize them and to position them in the 3D space.

Note

The mode image597.png, enabled by default, allows objects such as surfaces to be transformed when their parents are transformed. Deselect this mode in order to reposition objects that are already part of a parent-child relationship. This will prevent objects such as surfaces associated with a part from being moved when you reposition the representation of the null, axis, or vector.
