Spin Pivot with a WRL

[Kaminski]

Hey all,

I am experiencing some difficulty getting a model to spin around a pivot (I am trying to get a door to open and close). Is it possible to set the pivot in 3ds Max and then export as a WRL? This KB article explains how to do it with an IVE file, but my version of 3ds max seems to export a newer file than the vizard 3.0 OSG library can handle.

I can't seem to recover the pivot point that I set for the door in 3ds max. Any advice?

Can you post an example WRL file and the code you are using to spin the door?

If the door node is contained in a hierarchy, then you might be getting a handle to the wrong node. For example, if the WRL file is creating a transform above the door to offset the pivot, then you will need to get a handle to the transform in order to spin the door about the pivot.
