Constraint Tools Editor 2.0 | Weld and make joints between parts!

[Jozeni00 (FrostyDragon)]

This is a simple plugin that allows you to create constraints in editor mode or by pre-selecting parts and selecting a toolbar button.

Plugin

Get it here: Constraint Tools Editor 2.0 - Roblox

How to Use

<Method 1>

Method 1

Select parts you want to weld together.

At the Studio topbar, in the Plugins tab, select one of the options. For this example, I will choose “Create Weld”.

Parts should now be welded together with Weld, and its associated parts should stay in their original positions.

(Pro Tip: The first part selected will be used as the main parent where the welds will be located at.)

<Method 2>

Method 2

1. In the Model tab of Studio, set your “Move” increment.
   

2. In the Plugins tab of Studio, click any toolbar button that allows the creation of constraints. For this example, I will choose Motor6D.
   

• It should take you to the constraint editor mode.
  

  

• To exit out of editor mode, there are two options:

  1. If from a toolbar button, click the same one that brought you into editor mode.
  2. Click on an unclickable area, such as a locked part or the skybox.

3. Select two different BaseParts or Attachments.
   
   

Visual Result:

Explorer Widget Result:
A Motor6D should now appear under the first part that was selected.

More Options

What happens if you click “More Options”. You get more options!

How it works
Pre-requisite: Select two or more parts.

In the More Options menu, select any other constraint option. Then, the constraint should have joined parts together.

For this example, I chose “RigidConstraint”, and this was the result:

Remove Welds

“Remove Welds” button will remove all joints and constraints of the selected Parts.

For this example, I selected a Part containing Welds.

Select the Remove Welds button.

The welds should be removed.

Customizable Toolbars!

You are able to customize your favorite constraints, here is how to do it.

1. Click “More Options”.

2. Hover over “Favorites” in the menu. Three additional options should appear.
   

3. In order from top to bottom are numbered 1-3. Each one corresponds to one of the existing toolbar buttons.

4. Select your favorite constraint!
   For this example, I chose BallSocketConstraint to replace the 1st toolbar.
   Hovering:
   

Result:
The BallSocketConstraint should be on the first toolbar button as what I wanted!

If you leave Studio, then rejoin, it should persist!

Can you make it so you can create ball socket constraints or others with pre made attachments, and can we use 3 or more parts at once,

[Jozeni00 (FrostyDragon)]

Yes, I will look into adding more constraint options within this plugin. And yes, it is possible to use 3 or more parts at once, here is a picture (after choosing the “Add Rigid” option):
