Description
3D property; when used with a model, camera, light or group reference, this property allows you
to get or set the parent node of the referenced object. The parent node can be any other model,
camera, light or group object.
An object’s
transform property defines its scale, position and orientation relative to its
parent object.
Setting an object’s parent property to
VOID is the same as removing the object from the world
using the
removeFromWorld() command.
Setting an object’s parent property to the World group object (
group("World")) is the same as
adding an object to the world using the
addToWorld() command.
You can also alter the value of this property by using the
addChild command.
Example
The following statement sets the parent property of the model named Tire. Its parent is set to the
model named Car.
