Gizmo Get Distance in Local Space

[inxs]

Hello Guys,

when I drag a rotated Mesh with the Gizmo in the direction of the rotation.

How do I calculate the Distance in Local Space (Drag X Distance)?

Thanks

I tried this so far:

this.parentMesh.computeWorldMatrix();

 

console.log('Parent: ' + this.parentMesh.position);

console.log('Origin: ' + this.origin);

 

const mat = new Matrix();

 

const diff = this.parentMesh.position.subtract(this.origin);

 

if (diff) {

console.log('Diff: ' + diff);

 

const quat = Helper.QuaternionToBabylon(this.assemblyItem.quaternion);

 

quat.toRotationMatrix(mat);

 

const trans = BABYLON.Vector3.TransformCoordinates(diff, mat);

 

console.log('Transformed: ' + trans);

}

But X Value is correct but also there is a difference in Y, even If i didnt drag Y.

The difference in Y is very small though. If you rounded to, say, 8 decimal places it would = 0.

Which gizmo are you using? Do you have playground code I can look at?

The diff is 4.6 and it should be 0 because in local space I only moved on X Axis.

The PositionGizmo with updateGizmoRotationToMatchAttachedMesh = true;

When I rotate the Mesh for 30 degrees and move it to with the x direction, then I want the distance I move on this axis.

I will create a PG and post it here.

Hi @inxs, have a closer look at the number.. it's 4.6e-16, a very small number indeed!

Try this:

console.log(.00000000000000046)

Ah ok thanks I didn't see that. But I dont think the calculation is correct.

I just want a short formula how to calculate the distance of two points in the localspace of my mesh?

Ok already got the solution after browsing git repo

const tmpMatrix = new BABYLON.Matrix();

const localDelta = new BABYLON.Vector3();

 

this.parentMesh.computeWorldMatrix().invertToRef(tmpMatrix);

tmpMatrix.setTranslationFromFloats(0, 0, 0);

Vector3.TransformCoordinatesToRef(diff, tmpMatrix, localDelta);
