Meters in vizard
 

Hello, could help me to know how much equals a linear unit vizard in meters.
position objects to do with:

Viz.addChild obj1 = ('Obj1.dae', pos = [0,0,0])

if I want to add another object to exactly 1 meter from the first object I would do as

* Viz.addChild obj2 = ('Obj2.dae', pos [1,0,0])

but this throws me results that are not real.

my objects are cubes which I made in SketchUp where 1m is that while each side.

doing some trial and error calculations I realize that following this
1m. = 39 units vizard.

What I can say about this
:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused: :confused::confused:

Seems like a meters - inches problem. I'm not sure whether Vizard uses the metric system, but check the scaling of your object in Sketchup, especially your settings while exporting. Alternatively, you could first scale your object in Vizard to the right proportions. To check whether the scale of your object is 1 meter, import a standard box in Vizard (viz.add('box.wrl')), which is 1 cubic meter if I recall correctly. You can compare the size of your custom objects to that of the box.

Thanks, I already did that but the box.wrl has Vizard is smaller than expected

some work and box vizard but blender and effectively are the same size. Thanks Frank Verberne

When loading collada models use the collada scale option to convert from inches to meters:

Hi Jeff.
Your code is in Vizard??? if it is, I have do it.

model=viz.Child('modelo.dae', pos=[0,0,0])
viz.setOption(model.apply_collada_scale,1)


????????????????????????????????????

Yes, but set the option before loading the model:

Jeff.

I have error "AttributeError: 'VizChild' object has no attribute 'apply_collada_scale'"
I don't understan

My code is:
model=viz.addChild('ID_1.dae')
viz.setOption(model.apply_collada_scale,1)

Sorry, the name of the option is viz.model.apply_collada_scale. That will be applied to all collada models loaded after it is set:

Excelent, it is perfect. Thanks
