Multiple Support in a Single Point

Hi everyone,

This is my first time here and I don't know if my question does make sense.

My manager wants me to model point where there are gaps in X, Y, and Z direction.

I am planning to combine a Guide and a Line stop support type in a single point.

Is it advisable to combine 2 support type or is there a better way to do the model?

Thanks,

Biboy

  • Greetings Biboy, 

    Absolutely you can model more than one support at a single location. This is a typical modeling approach for mimicking real life supports.
