freezing transformations

[JulianHo]

For XSI, Freeze Transformation always resets every SRT property of the polygon object, regardless where it is placed, as (1,1,1) for Scaling and (O,O,O) for Rotation and Translation.

I don't think there's a way around it. Sorry.

But resetting SRTs can sometimes be a good thing.

yeah what mitodafox said is right. but i dont find any trouble when their srt are brought back to 0,0,0 ... you can always use the COG button to rotate stuff in relative to the object you selected.

It's the same problem that I've when I try Maya, coming from XSI, but the answer is simple: they're 2 different ways to work, also if they're some similar programs.:shrug:

The global center of an object is based on its immediate parent. If the object is not parented to anything, well it is parented to the scene root, wich is sitting at 0-0-0. If you want, you can make your object child of an object, and if you freeze the transformations, its center will be moved on its parent.

Thanks for all your replies guys !
I really like XSI :bounce:

seb3d, if you want to bring ur center back into the geometry, once u froze it, select ur geometry and goto - Transform / Move Center to Vertices -, that will place the center into the "middle" of the object, without modifying the rotation or scaling.

hope this helps,
