An object can be moved only if it is independent from other objects. For example, a pad can be moved, and is as such a movable object, while an edge cannot be moved individually. It should be moved with all the objects making up the pad to which it belongs as a whole. In this case, the underlying edge's movable object is the pad.
Properties
- Property MovableObject() As (Read Only)
-
Returns the movable object associated with the used object.
- Example:
-
This example retrieves the myMovableObject from
Move object associated with MyObject.
Dim myMovableObject As Move Set myMovableObject = MyObject.Move.MovableObject
Methods
- Sub Apply( iTransformationArray)
-
Applies a move transformation to a movable object.
- Parameters:
-
- TransformationArray
- The linear transformation array initialized successively by the four columns of the transformation matrix. The first nine components represent the rotation matrix. The last three components represent the translation vector.
- Example:
-
This example applies the transformation (45 degrees-rotation around the x axis and a translation) stored in TransformationArray to the Move object associated with myMovableObject:
Dim TransformationArray( 11 ) 'Rotation( 45 degrees around the x axis) components TransformationArray( 0 ) = 1.000 TransformationArray( 1 ) = 0 TransformationArray( 2 ) = 0 TransformationArray( 3 ) = 0 TransformationArray( 4 ) = 0.707 TransformationArray( 5 ) = 0.707 TransformationArray( 6 ) = 0 TransformationArray( 7 ) = -0.707 TransformationArray( 8 ) = 0.707 'Translation Vector (10,20,30) TransformationArray( 9 ) = 10.000 TransformationArray( 10 ) = 20.000 TransformationArray( 11 ) = 30.000 MyMovableObject.Move.Apply TransformationArray
