« Back to Support» Moving/Rotating Pivot3D does not affect Children
Posted on 02.01.2012 by Chau, Sam
I have loaded 3 seperate planets to the scene, and then added them to a Pivot3D container ('galaxy'). When I rotate galaxy, I would expect the children to rotate as well (as if orbiting a point). However, the children (the 3 planets) do not move at all. To combat this I am having to do galaxy.foreach(RotateFunction) to get them rotating! Surely I shouldn't have to do this?
Translating/moving does not work either.

Hi Sam,
are you loading the objects from an external file?
could be possible that you have the camera parented to the galaxy?
try to create a new camera like this:
scene.camera = new Camera3D();

Hi Ariel,
the objects are loaded in from an external f3d file using scene.addChildFromFile("file.f3d");
I call a function just before loading the assets that does:
scene.camera = new Camera3D()
scene.camera.setPosition(-100, 380, -1000);
scene.camera.lookAt(0, -270, 40);
Does the camera really affect the pivots? I want the camera to be fixed and not rotate. It is the 'galaxy' container which should rotate, like a carousel, and in turn, rotate it's children accordingly.

Hi Sam,
cameras does not affect pivots, but external files usually comes with cameras that are parented to the loaded file.
so, when you use one of those cameras, and then, rotate the container, you may rotate the camera too....and you'll no changes at all.
can you share some code to get more info and see where is the problem?
