In DBPro, can you attach two objects together so they move as one, but still rotate the individual objects along 1 axis..

its simply 2 cubes, end to end, and i need to join them together so they can be moved as one object and rotated as one object, but i also need to rotate each of the two cubes on 1 axis ? is this possible ?

Thanks in advance... for any comments

just look at the limb commands.

join an object as the limb of the target object
GLUE OBJECT TO LIMB

moves the limbs of an object seperately
OFFSET LIMB

rotates a limb from the object
ROTATE LIMB

rotates entire object
ROTATE OBJECT

hope that helps

.........what's the point of reading this?

mmm.. the centre of rotation (when rotating the whole thing) seems to be THE FIRST of the cubes..

They limbs rotate ok on their own..

How do i change the point of rotation to the centre of the whole object?
