v5.0

Moves an object's pivot to the specified global position. The pivot is the point about which local scaling and rotation are applied.

Note: Translating the pivot does not affect the object's pose, neutral pose or local transform values. Only the pivot's (local) position and its compensation values are affected.

TranslatePivot( [InputObjs], [X], [Y], [Z] );

Parameter	Type	Description
InputObjs	String	List of objects or components. Default Value: Selected elements
X	Double	Global X position of the pivot point Default Value: 0.0
Y	Double	Global Y position of the pivot point Default Value: 0.0
Z	Double	Global Z position of the pivot point Default Value: 0.0

JScript Example

/*

	Create 15 nulls and move all their pivots to the origin.

*/

NewScene(null, 0);

var oColl = new ActiveXObject("XSI.Collection") ; 

var vPos = XSIMath.CreateVector3();

var oNull;

for(i=0; i<15; i++)

{

	vPos.Set(5,i,5);

	oNull = ActiveSceneRoot.AddNull();

	oNull.LocalTranslation = vPos;

	oColl.Add(oNull);

}

//Move the pivot points to the origin.

TranslatePivot(oColl,0,0,0);

//Display the pivot points in the camera view. They will all be at the origin.

SetValue("Camera.camvis.compobjunselcenterpivot", true, null);
