Constraints On/Off Options

Command

Tgl – The constraints’ states are toggled. That is, if a constraint is ON, then it becomes OFF, and OFF become ON.

Tgl Unify – If the specified constraints are either all on or all off, then this behaves the same as Tgl. If some of the specified constraints are on and others are off, then the first use of Tgl Unify will set then all to the same state, and subsequent uses will behave the same as Tgl.

On – Forces all constraints to be ON.

Off – Forces all constraints to be OFF.

Objects

Active – Only the active objects are used.

All – All existing objects are used.

Hierarchy

None – Changes states for constraints only on the specified objects. For example, if the object’s option is set to Active, only those constraints applied on the active objects will be changed.

Above – Changes states for all constraints on the specified objects and the objects above them in the hierarchy.

Below – Changes states for all constraints on the specified objects and the objects below them in the hierarchy.

Side of

Constrained – For any used object, if it is constrained by any other objects, all the constraints are changed.

Constraining – For any used object, if it is constraining any other objects, all the constraints are changed.

Both – Any constraints, no matter if constrained by an object or constraining to an object, will be changed.

The following is an example to illustrate the Side of settings:

Where both obj_3 and obj_4 are constrained by obj_2 ad obj_2 is constrained by obj_1:

• For obj_1, if Side of is set to Constrained then none of the constraints will be affected. If it is set to Constraining then constr_1 will be affected.
• For obj_2, if Side of is set to Constrained then constr_1 will be affected. If it is set to Constraining then constr_2 and constr_3 will be affected.
• For obj_3, if Side of is set to Constrained then constr_2 will be affected. If it is set to Constraining then no constraints will be affected.
• For obj_4, if Side of is set to Constrained then constr_3 will be affected. If it is set to Constraining then no constraints will be affected.

Point

If this control is turned OFF, no point constraints will be changed.

Orientation

If this control is turned OFF, no orientation constraints will be changed.

Aim

If this control is turned OFF, no aim constraints will be changed.
