[osg-users] osgSim::DOFTransform pivot point

[Bruce Clay]

I am working on a model viewer that has portions based on the osgsidebyside example.  I can load a tank model that has both DOFTransforms and Multiswitches then rotate the turret and elevate the gun and everything works correctly.

I loaded an aircraft model with 15 DOFTransforms and no switches.  The transforms are for the individual control surfaces of the aircraft.   When I try to rotate the control surfaces they seem to rotate about the center of the model body rather than about the "hinged" point.  When I looked at the the translate values for all of the surfaces they are 0.0 so there is no information available to do the translate, rotate, translate sequence.  There  was a mention of a pivot point in a previous message on this forum.  The PositionAttitudeTransform has a setPivot method but not the DOFTransform.  

Both models are osgb format.

How can the pivot point be set so the control surfaces pivot about their hing?


Thank you!

Cheers,
Bruce
