Constraints

Constraints can restrict certain aspects of an object, or bone's transformation properties. This includes the rotation, scale, location and other numerical data. This restriction can simplify, or enhance animator or rigger's workflow significantly.

Interface

Interface is found under the Properties > Constraint. This looks like a chain icon. Note the armature Properties have both an 'Object Constraint' field, and an individual 'Bone Constraint' field. ==Available Constraints== (to avoid collision with main title) Just regroup the constraints under their relevant categories…

Constraints Common InterfaceDoc:Manual/Constraints/The StackMeta:Sandbox/NewAnimation/Manual/Constraint/Common Interface
=Constraints Common Interface=
	Small speech about common interface (stack, …).
==The Stack==
	Keep here to the constraint stack itself (order of constraints, …),
	similarity with modifiers stack.
==Common Settings==
	Name, add, delete, influence, …
Transform Constraints
I won’t detail each constraint page, as they are all more or less on the same model:
=Constraint Name=
	(ref template)
==Description==
	What the constraint does!
==Options==
	Constraint screenshot + options description.
==Example==
	A small demo example, with associated blender file.
