  toWorld / fromWorld functions in ExtendScript?

  Posted by Martin Bollerup on February 25, 2013 at 10:14 pm

  Hello,

  I’m fooling around with parented solids and need their world coordinates – is there a simple way like the toWorld expression function? I can’t seem to make it work using only scripting…

  Thanks,
  Martin

  I would have the script add a 3D Point Control (CS5.5 or later), apply the toWorld() expression, harvest the results, and delete the control.

  Is there any way to do this in CS4?
  Thanks

  I guess you could use three sliders, each publishing one dimension of the 3D result.

  Or probably better, just apply 3 different expressions (one for each dimension) to a single slider (harvesting the result each time);
