The location information of object in differnt plane.

[s1125413]

Hello FlexSim community and @FelixMoehlmann ,

The object’s coordinates are not recorded using the same standard when it is placed on different planes.

Is there any method to make the object’s coordinates on Plane 1/Plane1 consistent with those on Plane1?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Use getLocation() to get the location as a Vec3 variable. (I would always prefer this over using the location property because it allows you to find the coordinates of a specific point of the object, most often the center.) Then use project() to convert the coordinates. Either into the coordinate system of the other queue's parent object or convert both to a shared system, like the model itself.

Thank you so much, it working!!

Hello @FelixMoehlmann ,Sorry to bother you on an old post.

I followed your advice to use getlocation() to keep the object within the model() coordinate system across different planes.

However, as shown in the picture, the two objects in the plane still do not match the coordinates of /Queue1. Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you in advance!

"getLocation()" by itself just gets the coordinates within the parent object. You then also need to project the coordinates.

@FelixMoehlmann it read the coordinate that what I need!! But I want to set location to update the Object's coordinate based the Table, is there any method instead to the location.x an y?

Write the coordiantes to a Vec3 variable. Project that to the correct coordinate space. Then set the location.

Vec3 loc = Vec3(Table(...)[row][col], Table(...)[row][col], 0);
a.setLocation(loc, Vec3(0.5, 0.5, 0));
