Hello everybody,
I have built a LEGO model comprising of submodels, groups and some scripting functions.
The problem is my local script in LDCad cannot determine the position or orientation of a (toplevel) group.
Calling group:getPosOri() always returns the identity matrix (0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1).
these are the relevant lines:
If required I can also provide a small working example.
Can someone please explain what is going wrong here...
using LDCad 1.6 Beta 2a
Edit: model and script added

Code:
local mainsf = ldc.subfile()
local mygroup = mainsf:getGroup('MyGroup')
local posori = mygroup:getPosOri() --> identity matrix, whereas the editor window in LDCad shows clearly different valuesIf required I can also provide a small working example.
