Re: Constrain Object to Enveloped Mesh

[Adam Sale <adamsale(at)shaw.ca>]

Byron, when you do an object to cluster, you can do so to a single point on 
a mesh quite easily.
Sel the obj to constrain
run command
sel object to constrain to
then click on point to constrain to
an option box usually appears asking if you want to constrain to point, or 
other subcomponents.. just choose pnt as your type...
once you do this a cluster will have been created for you in the clusters 
folder
