Key Frame Animation - Page 4
 
You have all ready seen how to link objects so now link the lever_stick_l_r object to the column object and link the column object to the lever_stick_fore_aft object.
 
Next select the lever_stick_fore_aft object.
 
 
 

Now we'll animate the movement for the front to back motion.

Click on the Select and Rotate icon

Go to Animation Mode >>>>>>------>>>>>>

 
With the Time Line Slider at 0, type -10.0 in the X: box.

As you can see the column is now tilted forward 10 degrees.
 
 
Move the Time Line Slider to 50 or type 50 in the Frame Number box. Type 0.0 in the X: box.

The column returns to its neutral position.
 
 
Move the Time Line Slider to 100 or type 100 in the Frame Number box. Type 10.0 in the X: box.

The column now leans 10 degrees to the rear.
 
 
Exit Animation Mode. >>>>>>......>>>>>>
 
This is all there is to it. Not too difficult is it?
