Object rotation with orientation

Dontknow — Wed, 16 Feb 2022 09:05:23 GMT

Hi there,

Is it possible to let objects rotate with the orientation.

When I now change the orientation my objects are upside down.

Greetings

@Dontknow It is possible but typically it would need to be encoded in the GDL for the object/symbol.

Here is the code you need to implement to make an object always horizontal and not affected by the view or object rotation or by the mirror setting:

! Oriented View

angleViewRot = 0

rrr = REQUEST ("View_Rotangle", "", angleViewRot)

totalRotate = (SYMB_ROTANGLE + angleViewRot) MOD 360

rot2 totalRotate * (SYMB_MIRRORED - not(SYMB_MIRRORED))! 1/-1

Thnx Tormenta4,

Where and how do I add this script to my object?

At the beginning of the 2D script. Open the library part script by pressing crtl+alt+o with the object selected and open the 2d Script.

There already is some script there.

Exactly, and now you want to modify it by adding that bit of code which will rotate the object as you need. Just add the code at the beginning of the 2D script and it will apply to the rest of the code that is already there.
