Reset Move XYZ Postion to 0

[Anonymous]

Hello, 

I'm trying to figure out how do I set a  moved object's position to 0. For instance I can reset transformed object to 0 or even Rotation to 0. I've tried Absolute Transform Mode type in but when I switch back it still shows the offset position of said object. I would like to know how can I move a object to a new position and reset it 0.

Hi there, are you asking about doing this in MAXScript?  You could do this with the .pos property:

myObj = $ -- get selected object
myObj.pos = [0,0,0] -- set to 0

Hope that helps,

Drew

I am afraid that script doesn't work, it just moves object back to 0 position, but I want the position my object already is in to be set as the default 0 position in if that makes sense

If you wnat to use arbitrary object as 0 position for all other objects then set is as center of Reference Coordinate System: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/3ds-max/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2017/ENU/3DSMa...

If you want every selected object to have 0 pos then set reference coordinate system to Local. Now, when you select an object its position will be 0 by X, Y and Z axis and you will see this in the TTI dialog.

Otherwise the object will have position relative to the world 0, parent position, other obejct set as RCS, Grid, Working RCS(pivot).
