Joint.setAsPinSlotJointMotion Method

Redefines the relationship between the two joint geometries as a pin-slot joint.

To use this method, you need to position the timeline marker to immediately before this joint. This can be accomplished using the following code: thisJoint.timelineObject.rollTo(True)

Syntax

Python
C++

"joint_var" is a variable referencing a Joint object.

# Uses no optional arguments.
returnValue = joint_var.setAsPinSlotJointMotion(rotationAxis, slideDirection)

# Uses optional arguments.
returnValue = joint_var.setAsPinSlotJointMotion(rotationAxis, slideDirection, customRotationAxisEntity, customSlideDirectionEntity)

"joint_var" is a variable referencing a Joint object.

#include <Fusion/Components/Joint.h>

// Uses no optional arguments.
returnValue = joint_var->setAsPinSlotJointMotion(rotationAxis, slideDirection);

// Uses optional arguments.
returnValue = joint_var->setAsPinSlotJointMotion(rotationAxis, slideDirection, customRotationAxisEntity, customSlideDirectionEntity);

Parameters

rotationAxis

JointDirections

Specifies which axis the rotation is around. If this is set to CustomJointDirection then the customRotationAxisEntity argument must also be provided.

slideDirection

JointDirections

Specifies which axis the slide direction is along. If this is set to CustomJointDirection then the customSlideDirectionEntity argument must also be provided.

customRotationAxisEntity

Base

If the rotationAxis is customAxisEntity this argument is used to specify the entity that defines the custom axis of rotation. This can be several types of entities that an axis can be derived

This is an optional argument whose default value is null.

customSlideDirectionEntity

Base

If the slideDirection is CustomJointDirection this argument is used to specify the entity that defines the custom slide direction. This can be several types of entities that can define a direction.

This is an optional argument whose default value is null.
