Relative PositioningHello,
I have an object A and want to place an object be x and y meters relative to it. At the moment I am placing measurement lines and then deleting them afterwards.
Is there a more efficient method?
Thanks

Re: Relative Positioning A few possibilities: Align the object that needs a certain distance at the same position as the source. 1 - Select and move the object with the required distance using the Move function from the AdvancedEdit plugin. This is a plugin that you should install anyway because it has several other basic functions. 2 - Modify the object and adjust the X/Y coordinates with the required distance. This is very easy because every numeric field in Sweet Home 3D is a "calculator". So if you need to move an object 100 to the right you add "+100" after the existing X value. You can do the same for the Y coordinate. You can use very complex formulas in numeric fields including using parentheses like "(123+(3*21))/2". ---------------------------------------- Dodecagon.nl 1300+ 3D models, manuals, and projects |
