Description

Adds a 3D chain and parents the new chain under this object. A 3D chain has joint properties that can rotate on any axis.

Scripting Syntax

X3DObject.Add3DChain( [RootPos], [EffectorPos], [ChainNormalPlane], [Name] )

C# Syntax

ChainRoot X3DObject.Add3DChain( Object in_rootPos, Object in_effPos, Object in_normalPlane, String in_bstrName );

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
RootPos	Either an SIVector3 or an Array	The root position of the new chain, in global coordinates. Default Value: (0,0,0)
EffectorPos	Either an SIVector3 or an Array	The effector position of the new chain, in global coordinates. Default Value: (1,0,0)
ChainNormalPlane	Either an SIVector3 or an Array	The chain's normal to the plane, in global coordinates. Default Value: (0,0,1)
Name	String	name of new chain

Return Value

ChainRoot

Examples

VBScript Example

NewScene , false
set oRoot = Application.ActiveProject.ActiveScene.Root
set oChain = oRoot.Add3DChain

oRootPos = Array(0,10,0)
oEffPos = Array(10,10,0)
set oChain = oRoot.Add3DChain( oRootPos, oEffPos )
