If your obj or figure is out of sight of the camera is there a way to get it to the center of the view screen? Poser 7 Mac.

Hi!

Dennis Haroldsen kindly shared a nice python script some years ago when I hade the same problem, it works on props but i havent tried it on characters.

Read this thread and the post by Dennis:

If it has been moved  you can reset the dials for x,z, translate.
for figures check BODY and HIP translations.

Thanks How do you get that script?

You can parent the model in question to the camera of your choice.  You'll never lose sight of it then.  Unless your "Yon" setting is wrong, but that's another story. 

there's actually a 'yon' setting?...;) but then, what do I know?

If it has been moved and its initial values on X, Y and Z are zero, so yes,but ive had props that loads with a value of for example xTran -2.7634 and the only way to centre the object (in workspace) is to insert a positive value of the same number (+2.7634).

uncle808us:

its right there in the thread, copy the below block of text into notepad:

actor= poser.Scene().CurrentActor()
actor.ParameterByCode(poser.kParmCodeXTRAN).SetValue(0)
actor.ParameterByCode(poser.kParmCodeYTRAN).SetValue(0)
actor.ParameterByCode(poser.kParmCodeZTRAN).SetValue(0)
x,y,z= actor.Origin()
if(x!=0):actor.ParameterByCode(poser.kParmCodeXTRAN).SetValue(-x)
if(y!=0):actor.ParameterByCode(poser.kParmCodeYTRAN).SetValue(-y)
if(z!=0):actor.ParameterByCode(poser.kParmCodeZTRAN).SetValue(-z)
poser.Scene().DrawAll()

Name the textfile to something like fixprop and change the fileextension to py
Just remember that a very kind member of the name Dennis Haroldsen created it :-)

Got it Thanks to everyone.
