| Mar 21, 2016 at 16:32 | comment | added | Xtremity | Random fiddle is the way I get most of my constraints working anyway. Sometimes you have to scroll the panels up to see the constraints - I don't know why It's probably a bug. | |

| Mar 21, 2016 at 16:22 | comment | added | Phantômaxx | I know, but there's an EMPTY panel, where I have to choose a constaint, which I didn't. Or maybe I missed something? I have to select the second ball, then the cylinder then Ctrl+T, because the other way doesn't work. But it does not add the constraint in the panel. OK, it seem I have to add manually a TracTo constraint and randomly fiddle with the parameters till I find the right combo. Thanks! | |
| Mar 21, 2016 at 16:19 | comment | added | Xtremity | It's on the Constraints tab in the properties panel - next to the Modifiers tab if you know where that is? | |

| Mar 21, 2016 at 16:14 | comment | added | Phantômaxx | Sorry for my ignorance... How do you do that? where did you input the parameters? | |
| Mar 21, 2016 at 16:13 | comment | added | Xtremity | Adjust the options for the constraint. The default is to point the Y axis to face the sphere - in my example I needed the Z to point to the sphere, Y up. | |

Adjust the track axes means that I have to manually rotate the first sphere?

| Mar 21, 2016 at 15:25 | comment | added | Phantômaxx | @cegaton I applied location, scale, rotation, ...same story. | |
| Mar 21, 2016 at 15:23 | comment | added | user1853 | Make sure you've applied scale on your object (Ctrl+A) in Object mode | |
| Mar 21, 2016 at 15:20 | comment | added | Phantômaxx | Something weird happens. When I try to parent the cylinder to the sphere, the cylinder disappears | |
| Mar 21, 2016 at 15:14 | comment | added | Phantômaxx | Looks promising! Let me see if I can put it to work. | |
