Hello,
I am trying to telescope an object that has more then 3 parts… I want them to expand out equally as I move the top section. While this is happening I have brackets mounted to the tops of each section which has a cable mounted to it that would need to expand in length as each section moves. I have tried using mograph and set up everything using formula effector which worked great for moving the sections on a slider. The next thing I tried was creating nulls for the mounting areas for the cables and tried using spline dynamics to control the length of the cables but it seems as though splines dynamics do not see position of mograph? I may be mistaken but if this is not the right approach let me know! I am in the process of trying to set it up in xpresso instead but having issues with telescoping with more than 3 parts but with a small test of 3 the spline dynamics to work so I think this is the better approach just need help with the set up of the xpresso.
Thanks!
Here is a picture of what I am trying to do.
