Show Direction

The Constraint->Show Direction command in the Actor and Motion modules works in conjunction with the Constraint->Direction command. When a direction constraint is applied to an object and this command is activated, a dotted line automatically appears showing the direction between constrained objects and the corresponding constraining object.

This command is activated by default.

When both Direction and Rotation Limits constraints have been applied to an object, colour feedback is provided. The dotted line that automatically appears when a Direction constraint has been activated changes according to the following:

• A blue line is the default colour: no orientation limit has been set.
• A pink line means that both orientation limits and damping have been set, and the object has been moved to where damping is activated.
• A red line means that both orientation limits and damping have been set, and the object has reached its maximum limit.
