It doesn't matter if you want to rotate the cylinder or to
modify its height.
If you cannot alter the pivot (of any 3D model) in your 3D
modeler, James gave you a good advice.
In your case, all you have to do is to modify the scale (on
the desired direction) of the group.
The cylinder (a child) must obey!

  • Setting pivot point

    Hi all,
    I'm using InDesign CS5.  I know that with the Rotate Tool, I can not only rotate an object, but change the position of the point on which it rotates.  I'd like each object in my document to remember where I placed the pivot point...but every time I deselect the object and reselect, the pivot point always moves back to the center...
    This is a long shot, but is it possible to keep the pivot point where I place it?
    Thanks!!!!

    One common workaround for this is to group the object with a larger one whose center is at the desired location, and rotate larger one. One downside might be if the larger object interferes with text wrap etc. One way to deal with this might be to put the larger object on its own layer - InDesign can group across layers; hide the layer when it's not needed, and enable "Suppress text wrap when layer is hidden," in the layer options dialog box.

  • ADF 11g: Possible to programatically set the pivot handle label ?

    Hi all,
    I am using JDev/ADF 11.1.1.3. I have a pivot table and I would like to dynamically set the pivot handle labels. The value needed for the label is another column in my view object.
    I tried 3 different approaches to no avail and I am running out of ideas:
    1) I tried to override the createViewRowAttrHints method as per Steve's article (http://blogs.oracle.com/smuenchadf/examples/#137). While I could see that it did work in the BC tester, it did not get picked up by the pivot table
    2) I tried to set the value in the page definition but the itemLabel tag seems to only accept a literal
    3) Lastly, I tried the setLayerMetadata method in the underlying DataDirector, still no dice.
    If anyone could point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Michel

  • Pivot Point in "Rotate 3D"

    hi all,
    is there a way to change the pivot point in "rotate 3d" (timlines/add action)?
    i have no problems to set a new pivot point with the transform/rotate tool. works well.
    but in rotate 3d it rotates around the center of the object.
    an example, think of a picture that rotates around a pole.
    have a creative day

    Thank you for the reply.
    Unfortunately it doesn't answer my question.
    I DONT want to animate rotating around the center. I have offset the pivot of an object and rotated around that from state 1 to state 2. But the animation interpilation ignores this and still rotates around the center of the object to get from state 1 to 2.
    I want the object to swing in to the canvas from its bottom corner but I can't get it to honor where I put the pivot during the actual build of animation.
    I am beyond frustrated with the limitations of Catalyst. If I have to go to Flash Builder to add any type of specific function, whats the point, as FB
    is 10 times more complex to me than Flash ever was. The reason I am not messing with Flash is that I don't want to screw with code.
    but I guess I might as well just stick with Flash as in Catalyst
    I can't
    Use Gifs
    Animate around a changed pivot
    Scale a bitmap thats a button (come on really...)
    Unreliable results with swf files that have multiple bitmap images in them.
    Any type of slightly advance animation, such as ...move a background around to loop,  when I am in a static state.

  • How do I get the rotate tool to default locate the pivot point in the exact center of an object or group of objects?

    My new copy of CC has the default pivot point set to one side, rather than the center. I know I can manually move the pivot point around, but this is not always exact. Is there a way to have AI determine the exact center and then make this the default?

    s,
    We are not talking about the Reference Points in the Transform palette, are we?
    In any case, you may consider the list.
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
    https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • Registration and pivot point issue

    The pivot/rotation points default back to the center of the symbol when I drag them from the library for later use.
    Here's what's happening. I create a symbol, double click to edit and set the registration point (the cross hairs); the pivot point (the white dot) automatically moves to the registration point. Great! When I drag the same symbol from the library to the stage in a later scene the registration point is the same but the pivot point has defaulted to the center position of the symbol. How do I keep this from happening? Am I leaving out a step? Help, please!

    Never mind. I think I figured it out; create the object on the stage, edit the registration and pivot points in the symbol in the library, return to stage, right click symbol and 'set transformation point.' I might be able to set that last action as a hot key.
    Thanks for all your help. You should write the manuals.

  • Can't set in/out points on timeline

    Hello there. I have just downloaded the trial version of Premiere Elements 12, which looks like it might have everything I want in a video editor except... it doesn't seem to have ability to set In/Out points (no button exists and  hitting I/O has no affect, despite being on their list of keyboard  shortcuts). I'm clearly not doing something right. Not being able to  edit quickly via I/O/X feels like being in a car without a steering  wheel. Please help!!

    L Prickitt
    I have already pointed out to you the Premiere Elements 12 ways to trim clips in Expert and Quick - including the Expert workspace Project Assets double click of file thumbnail there to bring up the Preview Window as well as the Quick workspace maneuvers.
    I have observed that the I and O shortcuts work only after the Preview Windows is evoked in Expert workspace by double clicking the file in either Project Assets or on the Timeline. There are different considerations when Preview Windows is used and brought up in those two different ways - from Project Assets vs Timeline. You really do want to be double clicking the file in Expert workspace Project Assets to bring up the Preview Window for your trims.
    However, whether in Expert (Timeline) or Quick workspace (Filmstrip), you can drag the edges of the clip to get a trim.
    Your recent post (4) defines what you want to do.
    - Drop video, sound and voice over clips onto the timeline (either with a mouse or shortcut keys)
    - In the timeline trim the clips most effeciently (for me, anyway) by marking an In Point (by clicking on the I key) and then an Out Point (by clicking on the O key), then deleting the clip (by clicking on X or delete key).
    I would ask this. You cite prior experience in what you want to do. What program did you use - was it other than some version of Premiere Elements?
    I cannot see what you want to be done in Premiere Elements without bringing up and using the Preview Window which may be taking away the quick style that you described for getting this task done. Again, you cannot use I and O as you cite in the absence of the Preview Window.
    Please consider. Knowing the program that you worked with previously would help in the understanding on my side. I have looked at prior versions of Premiere Elements and cannot see what you describe. So, I want to be sure I am not overlooking something.
    We will be watching for further information in the hope that we can put together some sort of compromise workflow.
    Thank you.

    1. in physical connections part can i use the same work schema
    2. Can i use same contexts created or do i need to create everything as new and then try?
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    As you mentioned that you just upgraded the database, so the data is same and schema is same you can connect with the same work schema.
    Yes, you can use the same contexts , but need to do Reverse Engineering for your new database.
    And about data server, i think you also have no need to create new data server, if hostname,sid and port etc are same as these were with R11(consult with your DBAs regarding it)

  • Dump while setting a break point in ECC 6.0

    Dear Experts,
    In ECC 6.0, when I try to put a break point in the program to stop the control there. I am not able to do so, it is going to dump. The dump message is also not very clear. Do anyone of you are facing the same problem. Any idea why is this happening and how do I fix it.
    Can it be due to the improper installation? Please respond.

    First of all thanks to Mickey, Nitin, Anki, Sujit, Red, Madhu, Vibin for the quick response...To be honest I did not expect such a response as a new member to the SDN community...I am sorry I could not mention the detail about the dump initially...Here is the detailed description..
    Issue: In ECC 6.0, when I write a simple ABAP program (e.g. 'Hello World' program). When I try to keep the cursor on any abap statement and click on the 'session break point' icon in the tool bar to set the break point, i get a status message 'Compling SAPLBREA in separate task and finally i get the dump.
    Dump Detail :
    Runtime Errors: DBIF_REPO_SQL_ERROR
    Short Text : SQL error 1115 occurred when accessing program 'LNAVIDAT' part "SRC".
    Program: SAPLBREA
    Include: LBREATOP
    Row: 41
    There is a an include being called at line no 41, which is "Include LNAVIDAT".
    Now when I click on the 'debugger' icon in the dump...It points to a functional module "RS_SET_BREAKPOINT"
    Also, while double clicking on this include to see the code within, it issues an error message saying "SQL error occurred when accessing the table TRDIR".
                                    Or
    While trying to display the code of the include LNAVIDAT in se38 to see what is wrong with that i get another dump and this time it points to be SELECT query in the dump which is:
    SELECT SINGLE * from PROGDIR WHERE name = rs38m-programm
                                                              and  state = active.
    Thereafter, i keep getting dumps when i try to go to any T.codes (e.g. se11, se38 etc.). until i log off and log in again. Hope this helps you guys understanding the problem. Being new to SAP, I have no clue why is this happening and how to fix it. Thanks in Advance.

  • How to set the out point beyond 9.95 seconds???

    how to set the out point  in Motion 5 beyond 9.95 seconds???

    First you need to make sure your project is long enough then you can adjust the play range (in/out). To make sure the project is long enough:
    1. From the project properties (command-J) go to the Duration field and enter a new duration.
    2. Click on the down arrow icon to the right of the current time, there is an option to show the project duration. Once set to this you can double click the number and type in a new project duration. I'd recommend setting it back to show current time when done.
    3. Of course you can also change the duration of a project when it is first created, in the project browser.
    Once you're sure you have a long enough project you can adjust the in and out range.  You then use the zoom controls in the bottom of the timeline to show more of the timeline and adjust the play range as needed. There's lots more about project and play range duration adjustments in the documentation: http://help.apple.com/motion/mac/5.1/

  • How do I make mail readable, text barely readable on screen when set to 12 point text.

    Is there a way to increase the size of the displayed mail, as you are creating it?
    I have mine set to 12 point text, but it is still difficult to read. The e-mail when received is fine, it's the creating that's "tiny"
    Thanks
    Mike

    I use "screen zoom" (control + scroll up/down) often when creating these responses.  Or for anything else where I do not want to change the number of open winodws.
    You can also write the message in 16 pt font and "select all" to make it 12-point before sending.

  • Pivot point in Photoshop CS 4

    Hello
    I seem to have an issue using 3D layers in Photoshop CS 4 ext.
    You see I have a layer which I convert to a 3D layer and I want to rotate the element however I would like to move the pivot point which it rotates from. I am unable to do this. I can not find the pivot point and I am not sure how PS generates the coordinates of the pivot point. This should be a simple task.
    Thanks
    Cheers

    Hello Bart
    Im not sure how your pulling this off. Could you please provide me with acurate step by step on how you are able to do this? cause I am still not able to get a pivot point from a 3D layer.
    Thanks

  • How do you set the in point of a clip?

    I'm using the timeline template that has a number of clips flying by and I need to adjust the in point of the clips. To be clear, I'm NOT trying to adjust the point that the clip appears in the timeline but instead the portion of the clip that will be displayed as it fly's by within the Motion timeline.

    All that that seems to do is set the in point of the clip on the Motion timeline. Again, what I am attempting to do is change what is seen on the particular clip that has been dropped into this template. Where the inset clip window appears on the timeline is fine but I want is a later portion of the video within that clip to be shown as it is flying by. As it is now the clip is just beginning to show the footage I want as it is flying out of view.
