Basic operation of the junction

"Attachment Point" function is used to define junction points against shapes, parts, assemblies, etc. and to connect them with other objects.

Select the parts and click "Attachment Point" on the Tools tab.
If you click on any point on the object, the Attachment Point will be inserted.

Notes
If it does not change, right-click on the Scene and open [Show]. 

Confirm and Uncheck "Hide Attachment Points on Selection"

In this state, you can right-click and open "Set Name and Behaviors" to set.
Enter "User Name" and specify "Male(_M)", "Female(_F)", or "No Paired".
The username you entered in the name frame + [ _M/F/N ] is displayed.


There are some types of [No Paired] and [Default(~)], and no pair can be used in the left drag drop.
Default is the setting of which junction to default for multiple males, females, and neutrality.
If the default is specified, the default takes precedence in the left track drop.



Also, if the “Coincident(CnP)” constraint is enabled, the part will follow the TriBall's movement even if the join point is changed using the “Attachment Point Connector”.
