Hi,
how can I stop the red box from turning around its longitudinal axis wenn the green box is banked?

the setup is:
red box parented to green box
red box targetd to null

is there a simple solution?

Make a null; it will be the "MasterHolder".
Uparent the red object from the green; then, make them children of the "MasterHolder".

How you are doing it makes any solution with the red object a child of the green one quite tedious to deal with.
But the method I described could also do with more nulls in those places you'd like to see more cohesive rotations, e.g., the look of the red object being on a hinge attached to the green.
