Offset parent constraints
There
are no offset values or fields present in the settings for Parent constraints.
Unlike other constraints, you cannot offset Parent constrained objects
from the Channel Box or options window.
However, you can use the Maintain Offset option
to set the offset of your constrained object or you can set a single
key on the object to change its offset position.
To
offset a Parent Constrained object using Maintain
Offset
- Select
the constrained object.
- Translate
and rotate the object to where you want it positioned in your scene.
- Select
the target objects, followed by the constrained object. See
What are constraints?.
- Select
Constrain > Parent > .
The Parent Constraint Options window
appears.
- Set
the Parent Constraint Options to
reflect the values of the constrained object’s channels and settings
in the Channel Box.
- Verify
that Maintain Offset is on.
- Click Add or Apply.
