Two items to be parallel but already constrained
Two items to be parallel but already constrained
(OP)
I have built a frame that is triangular in shape and I now want to attach some sheet metal to the top of the triangle. A shaft goes through the frame and sheet metal to house a gearbox, but I need the bottom of the gearbox to be flat (ie parallel to the flat base of the triangle)
The only way seems to be offsetting, but then I can't get it constrained to the shaft. Is there any way to do it?

Then contact or tangent - depending on geometry - to get the location?
What is Engineering anyway: FAQ1088-1484: In layman terms, what is "engineering"?

Thank you so much! Floating parallel offset worked a treat!
