Remote constraint in the Generative Design workspace
A constraint that restricts the movement of the generative model from a point in space that is distant from the model.
You define the target face(s) on the model, the degrees of freedom to fix, and the Anchor location, or the point in space, that is restricting the movement.
Note: You can select only those faces that are a part of the preserve geometry.
The default setting for a remote constraint is fully constrained, which is analogous to applying a fixed constraint.
Remote constraints are useful when trying to model or simplify a more complex assembly. For example you might use a remote constraint to represent a remote ball joint without modeling the entire design.
