How do you create a motion boundary?

How do you create a motion boundary?

Example: Giving a part the ability to rotate around an axis within a limit between 0 and 90°.

I know, of course, how to create a fixed constraint, but I don't know how to give it the possibility of having a range of movement.

 

 

Kind regards

Hello

Here is a link that allows you to make a pivot:

In this function you can limit the angle of rotation between 2 parts

Hello

You must use an angle limit constraint in the "advanced constraints" menu of the "constraints" property manager:

Answer already provided through distance/limit angle constraints

Afterwards, if the movement is more complicated than a simple angle or distance , we can go through a trajectory constraint.
