Hello, I have a question DMX set transform

Hello, I have a question regarding DMX set transform, so I post it on the forum.

As shown in the photo material, changing the XForm Rotation Axis completely flips the position of the set.

Also, when operated with the console, it is impossible to rotate in place. In this case, I would like to ask if there is a solution.

In-place rotation is possible when a normal rectangle is placed, but I would like to know how to rotate in-place when there are so many geometries.

DMX Rotation "in place" is definitely one of the harder types of XForms to do in Vision. This is because it relies on the insertion point in VW. So, if the insertion point on a stick of truss is at its end and not its center, then a DMX Rotation will rotate the truss around its end and not its center. Some workarounds exist which involve creating a new layer, putting the truss inside of that layer, and then doing the DMX Rotation on the trusses new parent layer. But, this can be a little difficult. Hopefully, it is possible in your case to ensure the insertion point in VW is the point that you want to rotate around.

 

If you apply a DMX Rotation to the entire MVR layer, the one which contains the entire set, then the entire set will rotate. If you only want parts of the set to rotate, you need to apply the DMX Rotation to just those parts. I hope that makes sense.

 

Try playing around with it a little more and if you're still struggling, let me know.
