Hi,
how can i apply a rotation like i do in the editor when enabling axis modification?
i thought it could be SetModelingAxis, but what do i need to apply when i want a rotation of (0/0/-90)..
thanks in advance,
ello

If it should work like rotating in the Axis mode, you have to do it in two steps:
- Rotate the object
- Rotate all points back

ehm, how do i rotate points? if it has to do with matrixes , i guess i am completely lost

Yes, it has to do with matrices. You can create the matrix very easily using HBPToMatrix() using the rotations used to rotate the object but negated (to go the other direction). Then you multiply the points (vertices) by the matrix.
Vector rot = obj->GetRelRot();
rot = -rot;
Matrix rotmtx = HPBToMatrix(rot, ROTATIONORDER_DEFAULT);
// Object obj must be a PointObject(PolygonObject)
Vector* pts = obj->GetPoints();
if (!pts) return FALSE;
LONG ptCnt = obj->GetPointCount();
for (LONG i = 0L; i != ptCnt; ++i)
{
pts[i] = pts[i] * rotmtx;
}
