ok, sounds like what I have to do every time. Goes something like move plate. move arms. move spindles and tires. Then double check all the centers line up. Each part moved or rotated individually using the object snaps.
Looks great!Next step make the assemblys blocks, so they move easily as one piece.like the tire/bearing/upright, and the complete a-arm or link.It makes charting multiple suspension travel points much easier.
At the current rate your learing, you will be teaching us all soon.
I draw circles with the radius the length of the arms. The center of the circle is the center of the inner pivot. Now chose the heigth to show the upright/tire. Now put the lower upright mount on the intersection of the arm radius, and the heigth. Then I draw a circle on the same point that's radius is the same as the upright mount separation. (Draw a circle with the center the center of the bottom upright and select the center of the top mount as the size of the circle.) Now the intersection of this circle and the circle representing the top arm are where it needs to be rotated to. Now you can rotate easily using the reference to the exact point.I can see you already know how to get it done. Just sharing my method.
