FAQ 005326 | How can I efficiently define line hinges on several surfaces?

Question:
How can I efficiently define line hinges on several surfaces?

Answer:
If line hinges are to be defined on several boundary lines of surfaces at the same time, the following procedure is recommended:

  1. Create a new line hinge in the Data Navigator under "Types for Lines", or in the menu "Insert → Types for Lines → Line Hinges → Dialog Box".
  2. Define degrees of freedom as desired.
  3. Use the "Pick" function to select the desired area and then the desired lines.
  4. Do not click "OK" to confirm the function, but select further surfaces and lines using the "+" symbol.
  5. As soon as all line hinges have been assigned, click "OK" to confirm the function.
