I am currently creating a model of my room and the blinds are causing me some grief, if i want to change the angle of the blinds i need to create a whole new set.
I have tried assigning them a dummy as a rotation controller, but it ends up just moving the blinds out of position.

Is there a way to restrict the position of all the boxes, while rotating each box individually?
 
Hi Nopps,
Don't forget that there is a 'Look At' property in 'Assign Controller' in 'Motion Panel'. I suggest u to make one dummy each for every blinds. Make blinds to look at individual dummies. Then all these dummies can be linked to a single dummy (additional). Moving the parent dummy will move the child dummies and hence the blinds will rotate in the direction of dummies.
I hope it will work.
with best wishes.
