Script for quick translation/rotation

Hey opensim community!

Since I have to translate and rotate several bodies (wrap objects) during my project I wonder if there already exists a script / tool to quickly translate or rotate a certain object in a certain direction. To do it manually in the properties section is pretty time consuming.
Any ideas?

Hi Elias,

At the moment there are no tools to do this quickly. If you are doing many objects I would suggest writing a matlab script that interacts with the OpenSim API. You can edit properties of bodies and wrap objects quickly and iterate many times.

Hi James,
I am wondering if you could please tell me more information about edit wrap objects using API? I described my problem here:
