changing constraints at runtime in swift

Question

I'm really very weak in constraints part of ios. I have gone through many reference link as shown below but still not able solve my issue.

Hide autolayout UIView : How to get existing NSLayoutConstraint to update this one

In case , i need to change the y-axis of UIView2 based on some condition. The storyboard.png shows the layout.

If condition fails UIView2 with step1, step 2 and step3 should be visible and it's position should also change as shown in condition1.png

If condition pass UIView2 with step1, step 2 and step3 should not be visible as shown in condition1.png

Please provide me steps for how to achieve the above scenario. I tried it doing but if set the constraint for UIView1 the height remains same and does not change at runtime.

Just make the outlet of the height constraint of both UIView and use constant property to change the height constraints like...

if conditionfails{
     heightconstOfView1.constant = 0
}
else{
    heightconstOfView2.constant = 0
}

I use outlets for constraints set on the storyboard, for divs between buttons (using old ways to set dynamic layouts). So, for large screens (iPhone 6 and above), I update the values of fixed heights (app only viewed in portrait mode). What worked for me is:

constHeightlogo.constant = 140 //old value = 72
///set any other updates here then force the view
self.view.layoutIfNeeded()

Worked like a charm.
