Now I’m trying to apply this approach to a different model (helicopter for example). When I access the “node” of interest, “Main_Hub” which is an osg::Group I obviously can’t cast that to a osgSim::DOFTransform. I’m trying to get an understand of how I can change the model, now in osgt (readable) format, to a structure that can be used. I’ve been using the tank.osg as a guide and attempted to recreate a similar structure in the helicopter.osgt. I’m trying to take logical stabs in the dark, in the helicopter model I’ve attempted to simply renamed the “node” of interest from an osg::Group to osgSim::DOFTransform. The model still displays correctly, but the cast to osgSim::DOFTransform returns NULL. I thought there may be some required variables at are needed as part of the osgSim::DOFTransform structure, so I began adding currentHPR, currentTranslate, and currentScale and continued to add more bringing it in line with the tank.osg example. Through all the attempts I still getting NULL when casting.</span></p><p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span style="font-style:inherit;font-variant:inherit;font-weight:inherit;font-stretch:inherit;font-size:11pt;line-height:inherit;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;vertical-align:baseline"> </span></p><p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span style="font-style:inherit;font-variant:inherit;font-weight:inherit;font-stretch:inherit;font-size:11pt;line-height:inherit;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;vertical-align:baseline">I’m looking for any guidance/suggestions/lessons learned on how to properly do this.</span></p><p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial"><br></p><p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span style="font:inherit;vertical-align:baseline;color:inherit"><span style="padding:0in;border-width:1pt;border-style:none;border-color:windowtext;font-style:inherit;font-variant:inherit;font-weight:inherit;font-stretch:inherit;font-size:11pt;line-height:inherit;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;vertical-align:baseline">Thanks</span></span><span style="font-style:inherit;font-variant:inherit;font-weight:inherit;font-stretch:inherit;font-size:11pt;line-height:inherit;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;vertical-align:baseline"> in advance</span></p><p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span style="font-style:inherit;font-variant:inherit;font-weight:inherit;font-stretch:inherit;font-size:11pt;line-height:inherit;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;vertical-align:baseline"> </span></p><p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span style="font-style:inherit;font-variant:inherit;font-weight:inherit;font-stretch:inherit;font-size:11pt;line-height:inherit;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;vertical-align:baseline">Jeremy</span></p></div>
