The valid values range from 4 to 128.
Methods
- Sub ApplyPosition( piPositionIncrement)
-
Sets a new relative manikin position.
- Parameters:
-
- piPositionIncrement
- The new position to combine with the manikin's current position.
This array must contain 12 numbers, and msut be initialized using the four columns of a transformation matrix. The first nine components represent the rotation matrix.
The last three components represent the translation vector.
- Example:
-
This example sets the manikin to a 45-degree rotation around the x axis and at a (10, 20, 30) translation from the origin.
Dim myPosition(11) 'Rotation (45 degrees around the x axis) myPosition(0) = 1.000 myPosition(1) = 0 myPosition(2) = 0 myPosition(3) = 0 myPosition(4) = 0.707 myPosition(5) = 0.707 myPosition(6) = 0 myPosition(7) = -0.707 myPosition(8) = 0.707 'Translation vector (10,20,30) myPosition(9) = 10.000 myPosition(10) = 20.000 myPosition(11) = 30.000 myManikin.Body.ApplyPosition myPosition
- Func GetSegment( piIndex) As
-
Returns a specific segment of the body, based on an index.
- Parameters:
-
- piIndex
- The index of the segment to retrieve.
The first segment is at index 0.
The value of this parameter should not be higher than the number of segments on the body, minus 1.
- Func IsBalanced() As
-
- Returns:
- True if the manikin is well-balaned, False otherwise.
Being well balanced means that the center of gravity of the manikin
falls inside its basis of support, given the manikin's current posture.
- Sub LockPosture( piDOFId)
- Lock the body in the given dof
- Sub ResetAngularLimitations( piDOFId, piReset)
- Resets the angular limitations depending on the param piReset: 0 -> 2 OR 3 OR 4 depending of the first encountered. 1 -> 2 AND 3 AND 4 2 -> Unlock the value 3 -> Restore the angular limitations if it is "No Limits" 4 -> Set back the angular limitations to their default value (50.0%)
- Sub ResetAttaches()
- Reset the attaches of the body.
- Sub ResetIKOffsets()
- Reset the offsets of the body.
- Sub ResetPosture()
- Set the manikin to the default (standing) posture.
- Sub ResetPrefAngles( piDOFId)
- Reset the pref angles of the body.
- Sub SetConeTypeBoundedCone()
- Sub SetConeTypeBoundings()
- Sub SetConeTypeFlat()
- Sub SetConeTypeSpherical()
- Sub SetPosition( piNewPosition)
-
Sets a new absolute manikin position.
- Parameters:
-
- piNewPosition
- The new position to place the manikin.
This array must contain 12 numbers, and msut be initialized using the four columns of a transformation matrix. The first nine components represent the rotation matrix.
The last three components represent the translation vector.
- Example:
-
This example sets the manikin to a 45-degree rotation around the x axis and at a (10, 20, 30) translation from the origin.
Dim myPosition(11) 'Rotation (45 degrees around the x axis) myPosition(0) = 1.000 myPosition(1) = 0 myPosition(2) = 0 myPosition(3) = 0 myPosition(4) = 0.707 myPosition(5) = 0.707 myPosition(6) = 0 myPosition(7) = -0.707 myPosition(8) = 0.707 'Translation vector (10,20,30) myPosition(9) = 10.000 myPosition(10) = 20.000 myPosition(11) = 30.000 myManikin.Body.SetPosition myPosition
- Sub SetPosture( piPostureSpec, piKeepReferential)
-
Set the manikin to a specific predefined posture.
Predefined postures include "Stand", "Sit", "Reach"
and "Kneel".- See also:
- Parameters:
-
- piKeepReferential
- keeps the referential after the change of the posture
- Sub SetToBestPosture()
-
Set the manikin to the posture that will provide it its maximum score.
When the manikin is in that posture, then the output of property
PosturalScore will be the same as that of property MaxPosturalScore. - Sub SwapAngularLimitations( piDOFId)
- Swap the angular limitations of the body.
- Sub SwapPosture()
- Swap the posture with the equivalent segment, on the other side of the manikin. For instance, the right leg takes the posture of the left leg, and vice versa.
- Sub SwapPrefAngles( piDOFId)
- Swap the preferred angles of the body.
