How to rotate 3D objects around the edge of another 3D object

Hi everyone:
I am trying to create an image of a human finger with 3D picture control, but in a simpler way. I intended to use three square boxes which are created by using Create Box VI.. Then I use Translate Invoke Node to line them up one after another. Then, I use Rotation Invoke Node to manipulate the rotation of the second and the third box. But, here are the problems.
The first problem: How can I rotate the second box(Green box) around the edge of the first box(Red box), so that when the green box rotates, it doesn't overlap with the red box. I want it to be the same with the blue box, so that the blue box rotates around the edge of the green box.
The second problem: At the moment, the third box(Blue box) is rotating around the origin of the first box(Red box), how can I change it so that the blue box rotates around the edge of the second box(Green box).
I have attached the VI to this post. Please could anyone help me.
Thanks very much

Hi Tommy,
To get rid of the overlapping boxes one thing you could alter the position of the green box as the angle is increased, the green box could move right on its X axis and rotate on the XY plane so it bevels round the red box in accordance with the angle you give. This would require some playing around however to get the values just right.
Have you had any success or updates since your first post?

Ho to change the mapped System object to the Model to another System object

Hi All,
Initially i have created one system object (TestSystemForVC) for testing the VC application. Then i have started completing the whole development in that perticular model object. many data soruce objects are added to the model using the TestSystemForVC system object.
Now i have created one more system object pointing to Otherclient. in R3. How make use of the same model pointing this new System object for working properly with out doing the complete development of that model.
I just want to map the existing model to new system object. Can any body tell me how to achieve this.
Regards
Vijay

Hi Vijay,
therefore you can use the Alias Manager (see attachment). There you can replace all other system aliases.

How to to print an .indd document with a border around the edge?

I have an Indesign document that I want to print with a slight border around the edge.
I print this after exporting it as a PDF. But when I choose the various combinations of 'print printer's marks' in the export settings, none of them seem to work.
I want just a simple thin border line around the edge of the document to print. I don't want the interior body to print (which it sometimes does).
I know this can be done, because on some of my .indd documents it works... but I can't figure out what I did to get it to print that way.
HELP!
and thanks....

Thanks... the visible guides setting change took away the purple interior rectangle.
But it still doesn't print the border outline.
Here in text form is a summary of the .indd file settings that does print a border correctly, as I like it to.
The relevant paragraph under Marks and Bleed has crop marks off... and document bleed settings on.
I wonder what I'm missing? Sometimes I wished Adobe just used plain english... like 'print border outline of document'!
Thanks!

How to rotate a text in the adobe reader for mobile ios ?

how to rotate a text in the adobe reader for mobile ios ?

There's no rotate command to rotate the document. Instead, rotate the iPad. If it doesn't rotate, turn off the Rotation Lock switch on the side of your iPad.

HT201274 What can I do if the glass starts to lift up around the edge?

I've noticed that the screen is starting to lift off around the edge on my iPhone, is there any way to fix this problem? PS Being a pensioner I reeeaallly can't afford a newer phone Sic please help

My iphone was cracking up on the back and the screen being pushed out. I took a sharp needle and popped the battery. Gas came out and the battery went back to normal size; gluey smell -probably not very healthy but have heard of phones getting completely wrecked. Don't know if this is the smartest thing to do. Probably not if you have an aple store nearby where it'd be better to arrive with impending disaster in hand.
The battery was of course useless, but that was the case beforehand. Bought the phone used, so wasn't sure if I would have any rights of battery replacement at reduced cost.

How to always rotate objects around the same point, even using the right-click menu?

I need some of my objects to always rotate around the same point. How can I select a point which will stay that way?
Using the rotate tool resets after deselecting.
Also, I'd like to rotate objects around a certain point even when using the right click > Transform > Rotate.
Is it possible?

Right, so this is where Illustrator falls short with respect you your need, but only in the sense that the reference point can't be made to stick. You can, however, use Smart Guides to make it so the point is easy to set at exactly the same location, (especially since your object has an anchor point there), manually before each rotation.

Moving objects around the page

I want to design a 'spider-gram' using objects in Pages but I find I can't drag the circle and position it in the centre of the page. What am I doing wrong?

Just insert the arrows as you did with the circle, making sure the text layer is not selected by clicking outside of the layout area first. You can add as many arrows as you'd like or just add one & duplicate it so that it is the same color, length, etc. Assuming these arrows will be set around the outside of the circle, you will want to rotate them using the metrics inspector. You can get precise degrees of rotation by typing a number in the box at the bottom of that inspector. Then move them to touch the circle. Once you get them all placed as you'd like you want to selected all of them & group them. If these are the only graphic elements in the document you can Select All from the Edit menu. Otherwise, click outside the layout area & drag the cursor until you see handles on all of the objects. Now, got to Arrange > Group & they will become one object, easier for any further moving around.

How to (bulk) link objects in the FIM MA to metaverse objects

Is there a way to link / join objects which still exist in the FIM MA CS with objects in the metaverse?

Hi Mik,
in FIM, you can configure joiner to perform your task.

When I place a white background PSD on my Indesign file I get a black stroke around the edge?

The stroke only shows up when I save the file as a pdf as I zoom in the line gets smaller and smaller but never goes a away. In InDesign and on the PSD file the edges look fine just all white around the "horsefly" any help would be great. Thanks

I am completely out of topic, it seems that your text is in French, but there is a mistake: you should write Après, not Aprés

After effects CS6 Yellow box around the edge? I think its effecting my keyframes.

I'm unsure where these yellow lines have come from/if they're related to my keyframes not working. Whenever I try simple opacity 0% - 100% in two keyframes it snaps straight to the 100% on the first one.
Please help someone, i'm sure its a simple solution !!

The yellow border around the Composition panel is telling you that you have your Show Channels menu set to something other that the default---specifically RGB Straight in your case.

How to I get rid of the small gap between overlapping objects

Hi
I can't seem to get rid of a small gap/line between 2 objects I've used the shape builder tool on.
I do as follows:
1. I have 2 objects overlapping
2. I remove the red sektion, so I'm left with a pink circle and a red obejct inside, using the Shape Builder tool
3. If I place an object below the 2 objects, in the same color as the red object, I get a small line between the 2 red colors. It almost seems like the pink circle and the small red object is not aligned, but they are.
I've tried to turn off Anti aliasing and align to Pixel grid, but nothing seems to work.
Is there no way to have 2 objects on top of each other, without having the bottom one making a small line/gap?
Hope you can help me.
Thanks in advance!

Although I've seen a result like that before, I can't seem to reproduce it here now. It's one of the reasons I never use the Shape Builder tool to do anything that can be done without it.
Is there no way to have 2 objects on top of each other, without having the bottom one making a small line/gap?
There is, of course. There is also always more than one way to do something. It might be better if you cut the dark ellipse out of the light one completely using the more mechanical Pathfinder > Minus Front feature rather than inducing an "interpretation" with the Shape Builder.

Error when moving an object around the art board (Video)

So I have a grouped object which I was about to move into place when I started getting this odd error, including a error message.
Here is a video of the issue: http://youtu.be/8o1E_oF5D0I
Error message: Can't move the objects. The requested transformation would make some objects fall completely off the drawing area.
Started to notice these issues when I recently updated my Illustrator.
System: Windows 7 Pro

TDRonline,
Some of the common reasons are Guides and stray points or whatever hidden (far) away on the Workspace

Since upgrading the IOS 8 on my IPad 2 I can longer get a full screen on my TV when connected with an HDMI cable. anything I should change in my settings? Right now my iPad is mirrored on the TV with a black box all around the edge

Since upgrading the IOS 8 on my IPad 2 I can longer get a full screen on my TV when connected with an HDMI cable. anything I should change in my settings? Right now my iPad is mirrored on the TV with a black box all around the edge

I have reached the same conclusion in the mean time. I have done a bit of investgation in to other grahics cards and am seeing some that show SPDIF connections from the card to the mother board. I was not familar with SPDIF but it did a little bit of sluething. It is of course a digitally enconded voice. I am guessing that in that case the mother board ( assuming it supports this hardware option) would use this output and be able to translate that digital audio to its other audio outputs. That is a lot of guessing of course. I think my "solution" might be a whole new desktop - a rather drastic course of action! I was in the proceess of getting ready to upgrade this machine anyway with a new graphics card (which I will now return), go to Win 7, and maybe even a new digital TV reciever, and I don't want to throw good money after bad anyway.
Thanks for your comments
