Making objects point at other objects

You can use the Aim constraint to modify an object's orientation so that the object points to other objects.

To use the Aim constraint to orient objects:

1. Select an Aim constraint from the Asset browser’s Constraints folder and drag it into the Viewer window.
   • If you drag it into an empty area of the Viewer window, the Aim constraint template appears in the Constraint settings.
   • If you drag the constraint on top of an object, a context menu appears asking if you want to assign the object as one of the constraint’s operators.

2. Assign the object that you want to aim to the Constrained object (child object) cell.
3. Assign the objects that you want set as a target for the aimed object to the Source (parent object) cell.
   TipYou can have more the object divide its aim between multiple objects by Alt-dragging them to the resulting Source cells.
4. Click Lock in the Constraint settings if you want to maintain the current offset between the source and target.
5. Click Snap.
6. Click Active to activate the constraint.
