Solved using nodeoffset on the x axis, scales jbeam, doesnt move it

Hi,
Trying to use node offset on the x axis just scales/elongates the jbeam on that axis. i can move it on the y and z axis fine though.


what it looks like WITHOUT the node offset

what it looks like WITH node offset


here is the slot code without the node offset on the x axis

Code:

        ["block1b","block1b", "block1b"{"nodeOffset":{"x":0.0,"y":1.0,"z":0.5}}],

here is the slot code with the node offset on the x axis

Code:

        ["block1b","block1b", "block1b"{"nodeOffset":{"x":1.0,"y":1.0,"z":0.5}}],

 

Could you post the relevant nodes and beams for block1b as well? EDIT: or just the whole test file since it looks like you've already made a test case?

 

Is this the thing where you must to put all of the nodes on either positive or negative to start out with before using a nodeOffset? eg this - http://www.beamng.com/threads/nodeoffset-feature.21576/

 

Well @torsion was correct. i had to move it so that all the nodes were on the same side of the X axis.

pretend the cubes are jbeam structures
