# LimitDistanceConstraint(Constraint)

base classes — `bpy_struct`, `Constraint`

class `bpy.types.``LimitDistanceConstraint`(Constraint)

  Limit the distance from target object

  `distance`

    Radius of limiting sphere

    Type: | float in [-inf, inf], default 0.0

  `head_tail`

    Target along length of bone: Head=0, Tail=1

    Type: | float in [0, 1], default 0.0

  `limit_mode`

    Distances in relation to sphere of influence to allow

    - `LIMITDIST_INSIDE` Inside, The object is constrained inside a virtual sphere around the target object, with a radius defined by the limit distance.
    - `LIMITDIST_OUTSIDE` Outside, The object is constrained outside a virtual sphere around the target object, with a radius defined by the limit distance.
    - `LIMITDIST_ONSURFACE` On Surface, The object is constrained on the surface of a virtual sphere around the target object, with a radius defined by the limit distance.

    Type: | enum in [‘LIMITDIST_INSIDE’, ‘LIMITDIST_OUTSIDE’, ‘LIMITDIST_ONSURFACE’], default ‘LIMITDIST_INSIDE’

  `subtarget`

    Armature bone, mesh or lattice vertex group, …

    Type: | string, default “”, (never None)

  `target`

    Target object

    Type: | `Object`

  `use_bbone_shape`

    Follow shape of B-Bone segments when calculating Head/Tail position

    Type: | boolean, default False

  `use_transform_limit`

    Transforms are affected by this constraint as well

    Type: | boolean, default False

  classmethod `bl_rna_get_subclass`(id, default=None)

    Parameters: | id (string) – The RNA type identifier.
    Returns: | The RNA type or default when not found.
    Return type: | `bpy.types.Struct` subclass

  classmethod `bl_rna_get_subclass_py`(id, default=None)

    Parameters: | id (string) – The RNA type identifier.
    Returns: | The class or default when not found.
    Return type: | type
