Solid Transform

Overview

Moves, rotates, and scales a Solid. Its two main uses are positioning primitives such as box/sphere before assembly and turntable animation driven by a waveform on Z rotation.

• Coordinate system: z-up (x right, y back, z up). Dimensions are in units and are converted to pixels by pixels_per_unit during rendering.

Usage tips

• Assembly pattern: place one after every part and finalize its position, then merge through combine/subtract. This makes it clear which part a transform controls later.
• The turntable chain is motion (Rotate, amount 360) → rotate Z. The bundled workflows/solid_turntable_phase10.ppl is a working example.
• Round fixed angles for eight-direction assets with rotation_snap = 45, which also absorbs floating-point drift.
• Translation can be written back from the 3D viewer's movement controls; currently only translation supports this.

3D viewer integration

• The 3D view in the inspector or preview window displays the transformed Solid directly.
• When solid_transform is selected, use movement controls below the viewer to write back to translate_x/y/z.
• As of Phase 9, only translation writes back. Control rotation and scale through normal parameters or animation connections.

Examples

Use TimeSource → SawtoothWave(0→360) → 回転Z for a turntable. For fixed angles such as eight-direction assets, use rotation_snap = 45.
