Syntax

Rhino.TransformObjects (arrObjects, arrMatrix [, blnCopy])

Parameters

arrObjects

Required.  Array.  An array of strings identifying the objects to transform.

arrMatrix

Required. Array. The transformation matrix (4x4 array of numbers).

blnCopy

Optional. Boolean. Copy the objects. If omitted, the objects will not be copied (False).

Returns

Array

An array of strings identifying the newly transformed objects if successful.

Null

If not successful, or on error.

Example

' Translate (move) objects by (10,10,0)

Dim arrObjects, arrMatrix(3,3)

arrMatrix(0,0) = 1 : arrMatrix(0,1) = 0 : arrMatrix(0,2) = 0 : arrMatrix(0,3) = 10

arrMatrix(1,0) = 0 : arrMatrix(1,1) = 1 : arrMatrix(1,2) = 0 : arrMatrix(1,3) = 10

arrMatrix(2,0) = 0 : arrMatrix(2,1) = 0 : arrMatrix(2,2) = 1 : arrMatrix(2,3) = 0

arrMatrix(3,0) = 0 : arrMatrix(3,1) = 0 : arrMatrix(3,2) = 0 : arrMatrix(3,3) = 1

arrObjects = Rhino.GetObjects("Select objects to translate")

If IsArray(arrObjects) Then

  Rhino.TransformObjects arrObjects, arrMatrix

End If
