Hi,

I noticed an issue that seems related to transform order and pivot points. I’m not sure if it’s Away3D or AwayBuilder’s problem.

Steps to reproduce:
- Create a geometry
- Create a mesh with that geometry
- Scale that mesh to anything except 1
- Move the mesh pivot as you please

You’ll notice that when you move the pivot on an axis where scale != 1, both the pivot AND the graphics move. It’s due to transform order probably… is it expected behaviour ?

If so, how can I move the pivot point without changing the appearance of a mesh which has had its geometry scaled ?

I’m guessing this would normally be a job for MeshHelper::applyPosition, which AwayBuilder doesn’t support yet.

Just tested and replacing this line

https://github.com/away3d/away3d-core-fp11/blob/058fe0419312ab2576ea516737cf9d0d0ea37309/src/away3d/core/base/Object3D.as#L902

with this

_transform.prependTranslation(-_pivotPoint.x/_sca.x, -_pivotPoint.y/_sca.y, -_pivotPoint.z/_sca.z);

seems to fix it in both away and builder.

As for AwayBuilder you would have to rebuild it with the fix.

Submit a bug.

Thanks, sounds like it would do indeed.

Rebuilding AwayBuilder is very cumbersome for me as I don’t use Flash Builder nor Flex SDK 4.9.1+. Hopefully they’ll agree to rebuild it for everyone after they will have fixed Away3D
