Moving objects by position properties broken since updating

Post by marina »

Since the most recent update trying to move object dummys by adjusting the position properties no longer shows accurate results. For example, two objects can have the exact same positions although they're not in the same position, dummies are also not in the same position in-fact they only move by a small fraction.

Both objects are highlighted, see below the image showing the issue:

do not be mislead by "Position" property of the object. This is a position relative to parent, so, for example, door handle position is relative to the parent door dummy. door handles on left and right side will not move into the same point if you specify identical position in properties. However, when you toggle Isolated mode, properties will show world-space position of an object and you can specify world/global position of the isolated object. Unfortunately, you can not specify world/global position to multiple objects at a time this way. If you wish to modify global position of multiple objects, they should have the same parent.

Oh god, I have mixed myself up. You're right my bad, fixed it now. Thank you! :P
