Usage
member(whichCastmember).node(whichNode).translate(xIncrement, \
yIncrement, zIncrement {, relativeTo})
member(whichCastmember).node(whichNode).translate\
(translateVector {, relativeTo})
transform.translate(xIncrement, yIncrement, zIncrement \
{, relativeTo})
transform.translate(translateVector {, relativeTo})
Description
3D command; applies a translation after the current positional, rotational, and scale offsets held
by a referenced node's transform object or the directly referenced transform object. The
translation must be specified as a set of three increments along the three corresponding axes.
These increments may be specified explicitly in the form of
, or by a
zIncrement
translation along the x axis, y about y axis, and z about z axis.
A node can be a camera, model, light or group object.
Parameters
Required if specifying a set of three increments. Specifies the
xIncrement

yIncrement

z
Optional. Determines which coordinate system's axes are used to apply the desired

translational changes. The
