Hey guys.
Hope everyone is enjoying the R14, I certainly do. I have one question though regarding the workplane:
Is there any way to retrieve the workplane's matrix? Didn't find anything in the python SDK documentation. Maybe someone stumbled upon it and can help me out.
Thanx

Hi Phil,
I'm afraid it's not possible to get the workplane matrix with Python in R14. The new snap system isn't accessible from Python.

I think there's a solution for it (didn't try it though :D)
make a null object...with xpresso tag...make that null global position and rotation = 0 (just connect constant 0 to global matrix...posion..rotation)
now work with that null inside python as it's pinned to the work plane now

Sadly that doesn't work either. But thanks for the suggestion.

why not work?
I think it must work
(u need to use python tag) and put priority of the tag to something after the xpresso tag...then in the python code try to read the global position (didn't try to read the global position but it must be accessable) -

Maybe I get something wrong, but the null stays in the original 0,0,0. I think it's because the worldspace doesn't really change (which would also mess up keyframed animations) only the work plane changes and as I understand it, the working plane is just a snapping and modelling helper.
What I wanted to do was a script to set the selected object to the center of the (changed) workplane. I know there is the button to orient the current object to the workplane, but it doesn't center it. -

u dont need script then
it's pretty simple ....use xpresso ...put condition node with flip flop ....with boolean check mark (user data boolean)
once u check ..it will trigger a condition ...which will position that object at 0 0 0
and to define the object u need a python node in side xpresso to get selection ...and transfer that selection as linksounds complicated but it's simple
