Hi,
I created a local coordinate system of some framing and now I want to move this coordinate system a certain distance along its X-axis, not along WCS X-axis.
Is this possible?
Try to get the vector of the X axis, and use a coordinate system translate node.
Many thanks @Kulkul
However, I’m not sure that your workflow can help me in my particular problem.
I want to achieve the following:
In the picture I created a coordinate system (ByOriginVectors).
Now I want to be able to move that coordinate system 5 units in the Y Axis of that coordinate system, which should translate the coordinate system to the right. The thing is that when I use the Translate node, the direction is defined according to WCS, which makes the coordinate system go up.
Is there a node that can transform one coordinate system to another?
Try using the Y axis of the coordinate system instead of the world Y axis.
Like this?
I could do that, but I thought there had to be a better way to do this, in a more generic and elegant fashion.
That’s the one I had in mind.
Creating it in the translated location initially may help.
Or you could call stuff in-line instead of as individual nodes.
