Excellent! :)

About of the Rotate Node

"Frame" parameters are yet nebulous :)
box = 5 , 5 , 2

Edit : ok I have found the missing link - a true moment of inspiration! :)

Maybe there is a trick for make a Rotation / a 3D Line ?

I have some troubles with Orient Node!

Seems no automatic "orientation"! ???

Hi Pilou, I think you'll need to supply a coordinate frame at your desired position instead of just a point.

Ok but i don't see difference from a simple "Move" + "Rotate Point" against "Orient" + "Rotate Point" ?

And I must find something who give the exact orientation because with sliders there is not "snap" :)
Something like a "given face" gives the orientation of it...or...

And other thing : does the "Native functions" can work only from them ? So making "Orient" just with them...

Hi Pilou,

re:

Well the regular Transform > Orient command is indeed a combination of movement plus rotation. With something that might have more complex rotations orient could be more convenient. Like if you are applying some kind of repeated rotation on a coordinate frame Orient can take that coordinate frame directly.

Sorry, I don't understand this part.

Actually there are 2 parts of nodes : native and extensions

So i will to know for example if native Orient can be used only with native nodes for obtain an exact results !
Because it was created before the extensions!

Problem for the moment i can't find a simple trick for have the good result!
Difficulties (for me) is transform a selection in a "frame" usable! :)
Orient something following a line or a face...surely trivial but...

Sorry, I don't know the answer to this.

For a curve you could call evaluateTangent on it to get its tangent direction and use that as the z axis of your frame, and you would then need to make the x and y axis directions by doing some vector math like using crossproduct.

If a curve is planar, (crv.isPlanar == true) then you can get the frame of its plane by crv.planarFrame

The next v4 beta will also has that for faces as well.

yes but seems all that is in the "extention" parts!

So stay in stand by till I finish the "native" part :)

Points Node (English French) not sure of what is this! (from where comes the first curve of points? A simple line of ... by default because I have nothing selected! :)
