Hi, I hope someone can help here as I'm having problems trying to figure out the best way to have the legs to my spaceship extend. It's a 3 legged version. Leg 3, that is at the rear, works fine, because it follows the x,y,z axis'. However Legs 1 and 2 are set at 36 degrees either side. So when I go to extend using the relevant trans dials or rotational dials the legs don't go where I want them to, which is to follow the length of the leg, with the Upper leg part rotating downwards. I tried two versions of the mesh, the first was made with the legs already in situ, this didn't work, so I made Legs 1 and 2 to sit at 90 degrees, thinking I could then position them using the joint properties, I still had problems. Has anybody had any similar problems or know of a fix for this, I would be very appreciative, thanks. Cheers Steve
