Description
Constrain Block blocks a geometric element in place with a single constraint. Its main intended use is to work with B-Splines which can be difficult to fully constrain otherwise.
Usage
- Select an element to constrain.
- Press the
Constrain Block button.
Or press the button first, and then select the elements.
