What Mate To use when Assembling a Rubik's Cube?

rpmolnar

So I created all the individual pieces of a Rubik's cube  along with the center tubular structure and assembled them together using the Fasten Mate.  But I'd like to be able to rotate the various faces just like in real life.  What is the suggested method for mating the pieces together for that?

As Onshape currently does not support intermittent contact mates (like a no surface penetration mode for assembly motion) this sort of motion is not possible. If you can make your doc public and share a link we can attempt to approximate the intended behavior.

Hi TimRice,  Thanks for the feedback.  The doc is public.  Called Rubiks Cube.  Is there some sort of unique id that I can provide for it?

I created a version (V3) for this particular state for future reference.
