[Closed] ResetXForm of a Group?

Not sure what’s your intentions…
Maybe ResetTransform

The only difference that I can see is that the selection brackets are not aligned to the world XYZ axes. The pivot is oriented the same way in both cases: ResetXform and Reset Transform

It’s not the same, try it more than 1 time…

You can’t even do it in UI with groups (apply XForm modifier with Reset Xform utility)

The Reset XForm utility and the XForm modifier does nothing to a group, but

ResetXform $Group001

applied to the group’s head transforms the group and resets the rotation to 0,0 on all axes and the scale to 100% on all axes. The problem is that this code not works the same way as when it is applied to a mesh object.

here is a ‘pseudo’ code what you have to do (names of methods tell for themselves):

fn resetGroupHead head = 
(
	if (isgrouphead head) do
	(
		setgrouphead head off
		cc = detachchildnodes head
		resetnodexform head
		attachchildnodes head cc
		setgrouphead head on
		head.transform
	)
)

PS. with my mxs extension it’s the real code

PPS.

resetnodexform head

you can replace this line with setting a group head node transform what you want

Thank you. In your code setgrouphead head on have to be before the attachchildnodes head cc.

For now I use this code, whcih replaces every head of a group with new one. You will recognise your functions.

(
	function IsGroupHeadMember head node act:off = 
	(
		while isvalidnode node and isgroupmember node and not (act = (node.parent == head)) do node = node.parent
		act
	)
	function GetAllGroupMembers head = if isgrouphead head do
	(
		for node in (join #() head) where IsGroupHeadMember head node collect node
	)	
	
	grpH = $TopGroupHead
	grpHName = grpH.name
	allGrpChidArr = GetAllGroupMembers grpH
	
	nestedGroupHeadsArr = for o in allGrpChidArr where (isGroupHead o or isOpenGroupHead o) collect o

	setGroupOpen grpH true	
	if nestedGroupHeadsArr.count != 0 do
	(
		for nGh in nestedGroupHeadsArr do setGroupOpen nGh true
		
		newGroupsArr = #()
		for n = nestedGroupHeadsArr.count to 1 by -1 do
		(
			nGh = nestedGroupHeadsArr[n]
			
			nGhParent = nGh.parent
			nGhName = nGh.name
			
			grpMembersArr = join #() nGh.children
			
			grpHeadsArr = for o in grpMembersArr where isGroupHead o collect o										
			
			if grpMembersArr.count != 0 do
			(
				detachNodesFromGroup grpMembersArr
				
				newG = group grpMembersArr name:nGhName
				
				attachNodesToGroup newG nGhParent
				
				setGroupOpen newG true
				
				append newGroupsArr newG
			)			
		)
		
		if newGroupsArr.count != 0 do
		(
			for nGh in newGroupsArr do setGroupOpen nGh true
		)
	)
	
	grpMembersArr = join #() grpH.children
	newG = undefined
	if grpMembersArr.count != 0 do
	(
		setGroupOpen grpH true
		detachNodesFromGroup grpMembersArr
		newG = group grpMembersArr name:(grpHName + "_new")
	)
	
	setGroupOpen newG false
)

For some reason, after this code is executed, I can select single objects from the nested groups, despite all group are closed.

why? i don’t agree

Thank you for the help.
