OK therefore you were able to go from total frustration to results:freecc wrote: ↑Mon Apr 09, 2018 7:08 pm but now I have to learn quatraneion or whatever, i have to browse Base and Rotations and Placemenets and a zillion classes. Just to rotate?
This is bad. Please fix it. I just want to write some scripts, I don't want to develop your source code. Make it more user friendly. We don't want to look trough all your classes just to rotate something and then send a placement in to another class and change one variable. It is overcomplicated and badly done.
In less then a hour. This leads me to believe FreeCAD after all is doing something right.I did it, with help from God I managed to rotate. I feel good now.
P.S. As for "move" maybe you are searching for "translate"? Anyway good to hear you sorted it out.
