Hi, yes i did.
And yes. i works. the model rotates. But now i wanted to move the pivot point of the model.
When i enter in Animate mode, the pivot point is on the model feet, and i would like to move it to the center of the body.

Do you know how to do that?

Thank you Taratoga for the solution! The models are now rotated right. However, there's still some issues with some of my models. When hitting the animate button the models scale down and change their relative posiotion to the MED origin point (also, the models have some offset to their bones, but that is easily fixed in MED).

These issues don't occur with simple testing models, but they do with complex models with bones derived from CS Biped. So, I'll have to check whether this is a MED related issue at all. If someone has experience with issues described above, please share your thoughts.

As for changing the pivot point of a model. When trying to fix the rotation problem, I noticed that rotating the pivot point of an object in 3ds Max didn't change anything in MED, but rotating the object in sub-object mode (for instance, selecting all the vertices of a model and rotating) did. I guess it could work also for moving relative to the pivot point.

jcl: those new importers still dont work for me.
The model when imported. loses his pivot point and the models gets rotated facing downwards.
When will someone look into this-?

I dont think they will fix this, because some modelers have the Z axis upright and some the Y axis and that makes your model to lie on its belly. If they fix this I guess your model will be upright but other people will complains that their models are now flat on the earth . So you must use the transform model global function to set your model orientation afterwards if you have a modeler that exports Y axis upright.

the problem is that even if i use tranform global to rotate my model the pivot point of the model is still on the wrong place.
and if i use the tranform global. when i press the animate button the model appears in a rotated position.

'Transform Global' transforms the model as well as the bones, and can also be used to placing the pivot point whereever you want. So this should solve your problem.

If not, please send the FBX file to the support. Maybe there is something wrong with that particular format. Please add the info with which modeler and FBX exporter version you've created the file.

Hi,

I have another hint for the people, which use FBX.

I use the 2006.11.1 exporter of autodesk and this is important: Conversion method: None

I use MED 6.879

If you use this, later in MED the modell has in animation mode and in non animation mode the same orientation!

So if transforming it, the model keeps its orientation.

To shift the pivot point to the center use "center" in the "Transform model" dialog.

Kind regards
