Constraints

Is there anyway to create constraints similar to solid works. I am trying to develop a daisey chained series of hinged planes. I would like to be able to rotate the plane around the hinge axis of the first plane and see what happens to another plane several planes away from the first. It is a specific type of Parent Child relationship similar to how a backhow works with all the successive pivots. Did that make sense?

Thanks,
Stan

See the jansen mechanism here: http://tedngai.net/experiments.html

It's a little old definition, but it can help you (circle-circle intersections).

Manuel,

Thanks for the lead on the Jansen Mechanism. That provides some great insight to a good strategy. I appreciate your help.
