Dream Home Load Centred

edited October 2015 in Daz Studio Discussion

I've taken advantage of my renewed PC+ membership to grab some of the Dream Home rooms I didn't already have. 

The problem is that they load a long way away from the centre of the viewport which makes it a PITA when loading characters, etc. into the room. I have an old script which centres some of the rooms but not the latest. How would I do this manually?

 

By the way, it is not a simple matter of chainging the translate coordinates to 0,0,0 - they are already set to that even though they are offset by a great distance. The Upper Guest Room, for example, is floating way off the ground but the Y translate shows zero.

    DavidGB has a set of poses to centre the rooms, or put figures in the roomsin their default locations. You can also use the Align pane to centre the rooms or to move other items to the rooms.

    I think the DavidGB poses are what I meant when I said "script". Unfortunately, not all the rooms are included in the pose set. I'll have a look at the Align pane - it isn't something I've played with before.

    Hope you don't mind, Richard, but I found your tip on using the Align pane so I'll paste it here:

    Create a null, at the origin. 
    Select the null, then select the thing you want to centre. 
    Open the Align pane (Window>Panes(Tabs)Align). 
    Set the options you want - to centre on all axes select Align Centres for each axis, to align horizontally but place on the floor set the X and Z to Align Centres and the Y to Align Bottoms.
    Click the Apply button.

    I asked a similar general question and got several good solutions in this thread:

    Now that's a brilliant tip, and not something I would have thought of, though I use the align tool pretty frequently.
