XFormer
Version:
2.5.8
Date Updated:
04/15/2023 
XFormer is a tool that will allow you recover the transformation of an object.
Some scenarios where you might want to restore an object transformation could be:
- After a model transformation matrix was reset (Reset XForm)
- If you have detached part of an object as another object
- If you import a model and it is not aligned as you would expect
Additional Info:
Supports Poly and Mesh objects.
Version Requirement:
3ds Max 2016 - 2024

.
Suggestion:
Keep rotation, instead of rotating back the object to 0,0,0.
Kind regards

@airbrush, If you are talking
@airbrush,
If you are talking about the "Move 2 Grid" function in RappaTools, then is it completely different to what XFormer does and to what it is mean to do.
BTW, buggy is different than useless!
if its a buggy version I
if its a buggy version I wouldnt want to use it...rappatools has a similar thing of what i'm referring to.

Thank you guys! @Branko, I am
Thank you guys!
@Branko, I am sure we all at some point have a situation like this where we want to restore an object transformation, but for "some" reason, I never looked to develop a tool to do this until last week when I was contacted by a 3d artist wondering if such a tool existed or if it could be done. So while the code and implementation is fully mine, the idea of creating the tool was not actually mine.
@airbrush
Believe it or not, getting the normal from an edge selection was the very first thing I implemented as getting them from face selection is quite trivial. But then I found some situations where it was not so simple to work with edges, and as the artist was using face selection, I removed the edge selection algorithm.
I can send you the first version of the script by PM if you need it, but I won't make it public as it has many bugs and the edge algorithm is not very reliable at the moment. Also, the first version was using a XForm modifier to restore the transformation instead of doing it directly on the object, but that has also its own bugs.
nice script....would be great
nice script....would be great to have it work with selected edges as well.
thx
