What is the matrix referring to? combination information?
Vikram Atreya (Jun 13 2021 at 17:44):Also what is the difference between clone and copy, other than the fact that with the copy command we can decide the name of the new oject?

copymat copies a matrix from one combination object to another. Every object has a representation in the 3D space defined by a mathematical 4x4 matrix (i.e., 16 double floating point numbers) that define its location, orientation, and size.
Vikram Atreya (Jun 14 2021 at 05:18):This matrix isnt related to the combinations that come from c cmd then, its just the spacial positioning and orientation. Am i right?
Sean (Jun 14 2021 at 05:19):what do you mean by related?
Sean (Jun 14 2021 at 05:19):the c command creates a combination, right?
Sean (Jun 14 2021 at 05:27):when a combination is written to the .g file, one of the things written is a matrix. there can be a matrix on that combination as well as matrices on any of the combinations that it references too.
