object. For example, if you move or rotate the wheel, Child Space moves
with it.
5 To reset the attachment point to the child's pivot, reattach the objects
to the car-wheel constraint or choose the Align Spaces To Child Body
option.
6 You can also rotate the suspension axis independent of the spin axis. To
do this, highlight the Suspension Rotation sub-object level; this lets you
rotate the suspension axis with respect to the chassis’s spin axis.
To change the suspension limits:
1 With the car-wheel constraint selected, open the Properties rollout.
The default limit settings in the Suspension Parameters group are Min
Limit=0.0 and Max Limit=0.0 . This means that in a situation where the
constraint spaces are fully aligned for the objects, the wheel cannot move
along the suspension axis.
The limits define the allowed motion of the wheel along the suspension
axis with respect to the chassis, and are displayed as a line with respect
to the chassis. This means that from a stable position where the
sub-objects are aligned, if the limits are –5 and 10, the wheel will be able
