Sebastian
Thank you for your patience and guidance. Programmatically definitely makes
sense and I did look into that a short while back. I was initially looking
at PositionAttitudeTransform. Now revisiting that approach, I understand
why I started to look in another direction. Here is the dilemma I've come
across. All is good until I try to assign a parent to the Transform
hive::display::FindNamedNodeVisitor fnnv("Main_Hub");
scene->accept(fnnv);
osg::ref_ptr <osg::PositionAttitudeTransform> autoTrans = new osg::
PositionAttitudeTransform();
//puts node and all children under transform
autoTrans->addChild(fnnv.getFoundNode());
//set the parent (this doesn’t seem completely right to me, but may be)
fnnv.getFoundNode()->getParent(0)->addChild(autoTrans);
issue 1) at this point it appears to create a duplicate object (node and
children) of the “Main_Hub” group;
issue 2) when I attempt rotation of the object it seems to be around the
origin of the model instead of the previous “pivot pilot”
I seem to be missing how to squeeze that transform between the parent and
child appropriately.
