Hello there.

I need to lock constraint on one axis, Z positive for example. Currently i was only able to set limits for both positive and negative values at the same time. Is there a 6dof constraint available actually?

Thanks.

I’d actually like to know this as well. I’m having a little trouble getting my head around how the constraint limits are calculated, as they don’t seem to constrain properly over axis.

Have you explored utilizing scripting or programming within the constraint system to achieve the desired constraint on the positive Z axis? If so, what were the outcomes or challenges faced during the implementation? [🙂](https://advancedcardetailing.com/)

## Absolutely, scripting and programming can offer powerful solutions, albeit with their own set of hurdles. Ensuring compatibility and fine-tuning the parameters can be time-consuming, but the results are often worth it. Let’s continue sharing insights and tips to navigate these challenges together! 😊
