Trouble with viewing motion of a part

[songah]

I've created two parts, a box and a little rectangular platform. They are joined together via small hole sticking out at the end of the platform and a matching hole to insert those on the box.


I've put a align constraint on thethe axisof the holesand I wanted to see up to where the platform can rotate to. I've been using move->motion type->rotate on the constraint window to get the platform to rotate but when I rotate it, the platform goes through the box.


I want to be able to manually move the platform and have itstop moving when it hits any part of the box. How can I do this?

Try creating a cylinder connection and specify limits on the rotation angle.

Thank you! I got it to work Now animating it with a servo motor
