Hi Guys,


Just upgraded to 12.5.316.22 which is awesome so far. But have a strange issue:

$CEX / $CEY / $CEZ appear to not be working (have tried on transform and point nodes so far). Must be an issue with upgrading as i have an asset where this was working perfectly fine in 12.1

The centroid() expression works as usual, but i'm just recieving 0 values when using the variables. No errors or anything, its clearly accepting the variables but not giving the right values.

On Ubuntu 12.04

Anyone else have the same issue?

Just did a quick test with xform nodes, same results here on windows 7.

Someone else then, must be a bug?

Have attached a simple example, using $CE* for the pivot and -$CE* for the transform to return the sphere to center.

Weird thing is, i am getting the right result for the centroid variables version - just the values shown are all 0, compared to centroid() that is giving me correct values.

Today I reported a bug where the centroid was wrongly calculated for the Glue network. It used the “centroid” expression though, not the $CE variable.
Still I wanted to comment it, because it looks connected somehow…

I had similar issue other day and seems like its actually calculating right.
Only thing is not working for me is viewport handle update.

Does GCX, GCY, GCY work for you?

regards

GCX, GCY, GCY indeed all work fine

And as mentioned, it appears $CE* variables do work internally - but don't feedback the correct values or pass the correct values to the viewport handle.

I have submitted this as a bug

I think this is the issue Edward explained on odfore in this thread:

There was a problem noted during the beta that the transform *handle* in the viewport wouldn't evaluate the local variable though, and that fix didn't make it into the gold release. If you download the daily build, then that particular problem should be fixed.
