Local/World Coordinate System

Goto contents

Toggle World/Local coordinate system.

Center pivot to bounding box

Goto contents

Offset the "Pivot" of local coordinate system (LCS) to the center of the bounding box. The offset is performed by manipulating the "center" field of corresponding Transform node. This option may be useful in case a model is designed so that its vertices have an offset from origin of the world coordinate system (WCS) where the model was designed.

Translate pivot manually

Goto contents

Offset the "Pivot" of LCS manually. May be used in combination with "Align transform by object..." Align.

Align

Goto contents

Align to WCS of a specific node. A node's translation, rotation or node's center (pivot) may be aligned this way.

First you have to select the required align transformation mode (translate,rotate or pivot). Then you have to click the align button and select the target in 3D Viewport for align to this specific object.

Select and View Camera

Goto contents

Selects a camera and the scene will be shown through this camera.

If there is only one camera in your scene this camera will be selected. Otherwise the Select and View Camera Dialog will be opend where you can select a camera from a list.
