rotating mesh worsens mesh quality

geth03 · March 10, 2022, 09:22

hi all,

i have a mesh which i want to rotate.
so i use $ rotateMesh "(0 -1 0)""(0 1 0)"
it rotates the geometry, but the mesh quality becomes really bad.
screenshots are attached.

same happens with $transformPoints -rotate ...

hope someone can help

That's because you are inverting your mesh. I.e every cell is inside out from that rotation.

try

Code:

transformPoints -rotate-angle '((0 1 0) 180)'

thank you. unfortunately, i am using OF version 7, and your suggestion is not an option.

the following command did the trick:
transformPoints -rollPitchYaw "(180 0 0)"
