Description

Creates a model type constraint based on the angle between three nodes.

Inputs

stype: Must be set to shapes.
smark: The ID of the mark containing the shapes. Valid values are 1 and 2.
type: 0 - Measure angle node to node; 1 - Measure angle using vector
name: Name of morph constraint
n1: First end of angle
n2: Vertex of angle
n3: Second end of angle
vec: Mark number of vector
angle: Constrained angle
bound: -1 - Greater than specified angle; 0 - Equal to specified angle; 1 - Less than specified angle
color: The color of the constraint. Valid values are 1 through 64.

Example


*morphconstraintcreateangle (SHAPES,1,0,"angle",21,22,23,1,45.0,0,32)

This command creates a model type constraint for the three selected nodes with the option of having those nodes measured in the plane that they lie in or perpendicular to a vector and the option of having the angle forced to be greater than, less than, or equal to the specified angle.

The shapes on the mark will be used to force the model into compliance with the specified constraint, if possible.

Errors

None.
