Hi all,
I would like to record the movement of a mobile robot or AGV. I only need the X, Z position and the Y orientation around its pivot point. To get these data, I wanted to align the coordinate system of the rigid body so that its XZ plane is parallel to the global coordinate system. This would allow me to use the X, Z and theta_Y data directly after exporting the data. Is there an easy way to do this alignment?
Thanks a lot
Lukas

Re: Rigid Body Orientation
Hi Lukas,
When you first create a rigid body, its orientation exactly matches the origin.
So when you first create the rigid body, or if you reset the orientation, all rotation values will be 0 and the X,Z plane should match the origin's
If you need any further assistance resetting the orientation, feel free to reach out to us directly.
Cheers,
Steven
