Editable Transforms

While loading a scene, Previzion searches through the 3D tree for transforms with the prefix edit_. These transforms are displayed in the list above, and can be selected, translated, scaled, and rotated.

Maya UI

An example of what this looks like in Maya is shown above. This is particularly useful for items that may be adjusted during shooting, such as video background where the horizon must be moved around.

To move a transform, click to select the transform in the menu, and set the values in the XYZ translation, rotation, and scaling boxes. This can be done in the following ways:

  • Typing in the values directly
  • Scrolling the mouse wheel for fast motion
  • Clicking and dragging up and down in the number box
  • Holding down Control and clicking and dragging in the number box for fine control.

To reset the tranform to the original position from the scene file, highlight the transform and click Reset.
