    Constrains qeustion - Spheres and holes

    I think I tried every possible tangent combination possible. I had limited success with putting a chamfer on the hole/cylinder (tangent of a cone to a ball), but if the radius of the ball greatly exceeds the Dia of the hole the ball hovers above the pane it should be dropping into. I also tried...
