I have got a moulded part I like to bend (box + lit)
When I bend, closing the lit 180dgr, both the box and lit move.
How can I fix on of the trim planes so that only one trim plane is moving, leaving the box in position.
Is this possible as one joined open box + lit?
Hi Gerard, I find Flex a lot easier to control if you define a coordinate system.
I don't have time to elaborate more but I uploaded a file in Alins 3rd challenge that uses this technique
If you're talking about a living hinge design, I would suggest not using the flex feature and just have an open and closed configuration with a different web as the living hinge.

Hi Gerard,
Might be worth separating the bodies, completing the flex, then combining them again.
If you upload the part we could have a go!
