The DataManipulate plug-in enables interactive manipulation of the object that the plug-in is placed on, when in On Air mode.
The left mouse button controls position manipulation, center Mouse button affects rotation and the right mouse button affects scaling.
Note: This plug-in is located in: Plugins -> Container plug-ins -> Data
Information: DataPool plug-ins only work properly on a single channel on the same machine.
DataManipulate Properties
Virtual Manipulation: Defines if object manipulation is based on Data Fields values. When set to
On, additional parameters are enabled:Virtual Position FieldName: Defines a DataPool variable that controls the position of the manipulated container. The value of the variable defines the delta of the object position from the current position.
Virtual Rotation FieldName: Defines a DataPool variable that controls the rotation of the manipulated container. The value of the variable defines the delta of the object rotation from the current rotation value.
Virtual Scale FieldName: Defines a DataPool variable that controls the scale of the manipulated container. The value of the variable defines the delta of the object scale from the current scale.
Single Button: Allows all mouse buttons to control one property of the object when set to
On. An additional parameter is enabled, setting the controlled attribute of the object:Single Button Mode: Selects the control mode of the mouse.
Navigation Model: Selects the type of axis used to manipulate the object.
Cartesian: Uses the Cartesian coordinate system to calculate object movement.
Polar: Uses the Polar coordinate system to calculate object movement.
Navigation Model: Selects the type of axis used to manipulate the object.
Other Container is Hot Area: Defines a remote container as the hot area instead of the container the plug-in is attached to. When set to
On, an additional parameter is enabled: Hot Area Container, and a container placeholder is added.Is Moveable: Moves the object when selected and dragged while the left mouse button is pressed, when set to
On. When setOffthe object does not move when dragged. Additional parameters are enabled when set toOn:Movement: Determines how the selected object can move. When 2D is selected, the object can move only on the X and Y axes. When 3D is selected, the object can be moved in all three axes.
Limit Move X: Limits the object’s position values according to the values set in the Move Min X and Move Max X when set to
On. When set toOffthe object can be dragged all over the render window.Limit Move Y: Limits the object’s position values according to the values set in the Move Min Y and Move Max Y when set to
On. When set toOffthe object can be dragged all over the render window.Limit Move Z: Limits the object’s position values according to the values set in the Move Min Z and Move Max Z when set to
On. When set toOffthe object can be dragged all over the render window.
Is Rotation able: Rotates the object when selected and dragged while the center mouse button is pressed, when set to
On. When setOffthe object does not rotate when dragged. Additional parameters are enabled when set toOn:Limit Rotate X: Limits the object’s rotation values according to the values set in the Rotate Min X and Rotate Max X when set to
On. When set toOffthe object can be rotated to any angle.Limit Rotate Y: Limits the object’s rotation values according to the values set in the Rotate Min Y and Rotate Max Y when set to
On. When set toOffthe object can be rotated to any angle.Limit Rotate Z: Limits the object’s rotation values according to the values set in the Rotate Min Z and Rotate Max Z when set to
On. When set toOffthe object can be rotated to any angle.Rotation Sensitivity: Defines the relation between the mouse movement size and the rotation size.
Is Scaleable: Scales the object when selected and dragged while the right mouse button is pressed, when set to
On. When setOffthe object does not scale when dragged. Additional parameters are enabled when set toOn:Limit Scale: Limits the object’s scaling values according to the values set in the Min Scale and Max Scale, when set to
On. When set toOffthe object can be scaled to any size.Scale Sensitivity: Defines the relation between the mouse movement size and the scaling size.
Writeable: Controls a text object. If the plug-in is controlling a text object and writable is
On, when selecting the object the user can type and change the content of the text value. When set toOff, the text object cannot be modified.Show Bounding Box: Toggles visibility for the object's bounding box. When set to
On, the object’s bounding box is visible when the object is selected (in On Air mode). When set toOff, the bounding box is not visible when the object is selected.
Note: DataManipulate plug-in does not work if the scene has a DataInteractive plug-in added.
