Rep Power: 6 josalgarcia is on a distinguished road
Reactor

Hello all,

I'm trying to simulate a car going of a ramp. I grouped the car and all parts except the wheels. I then grouped each wheel and tire. So I have a car group and for wheel groups. The problem is that when I apply the wheel constraint I can't pick the car group as the parent and the tires as the child. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong. Should I not group parts, should I attach them to each other?


Thanks,
Jose

hey,

grouping them has no point, u may try attaching them all to each other :) because the grouping feature is only to make it easier to model/animate. and by the way, 3DS Max wheel constraint is hopeless XD
atleast i try to avoid it ;)
