vizact.goto/move using ABS instead of local

[hosier]

Is there a function in Vizard where I could take absolute coordinates x,y,z and it would calculate what the local coordinates would be for an object? My geometry is a little rusty and while I could probably work this out after a while, if Vizard had something that could do the calculations, that would be great.

Thanks.

Just have Vizard perform the calculation for you:

curPos = node.getPosition() #Save current position
node.setPosition(desiredPos,viz.ABS_GLOBAL) #Apply desired absolute pos
gotoPos = node.getPosition() #Get computed local pos
node.setPosition(curPos) #Restore position
