+ | The **Model Transform** dialog is used to translate, rotate or scale the entire model. | ||
+ | |||
+ | It is opened | ||
+ | * via menu item **Model -> Transform... (Ctrl+T)**, | ||
+ | * or the "Transform" button in the [[:modeleditor:menureference|application toolbar]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Contrary to the [[:modeleditor:skeleton|Joint Inspector]], the **Model Transform** dialog can //not// be used to transform individual joints in a skeleton, a feature that is only useful for static, non-animated models. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The virtue of the **Model Transform** dialog is that it affects the entire model (the whole skeleton), and that the transformation is applied to all currently selected animation sequences. | ||
+ | If no animation sequence is selected at all, the default pose (also called the "bind pose") is transformed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Purpose ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The **Model Transform** dialog's main area of application is to adjust newly imported models to the Cafu coordinate system: | ||
+ | |||
+ | An authoring program might have exported a model in a scale or default orientation that does not agree well with the Cafu coordinate system, or just is different from other models that you already have. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Use the **Model Transform** dialog to fix such and similar cases easily. | ||
