| Hi everyone, I'm trying to place objects that can be positioned as default items from one map to another, I started importing them into the new map in giants editor to place them, but having put them under a transform group to move them now I can't find the way to know the coordinates of the single object. Does anyone know if there is a way or what calculations need to be made? Thanks |

| After export you should 'freeze' the translations of main TG to (0,0,0). So it's easier to place in another map and you have immediately the translation values for the items.xml. |

| I think I didn't understand, I take them from the map, I export them and put them in a transform group and use freeze transform. Then I import the tg in the new map, but moving them I don't have the coordinates of the single objects, and using those of the main tg I'm not in the right position in the game |

| I have supposed you already moved the object to virtual ground (eg. editor grid). Certainly it's useless to freeze if the object is still far above or under the surface. |

| yes, the objects are all at the height of the grid |

| And? Where is the problem? The adjusted object.i3d you import into your map. Don't save the map - it's only for proper placement. Memorize the placement coordinates and transfer them into the items.xml. |

| the problem is that the objects in the other map were already positioned and had certain coordinates that remained, so putting them in a tg gives me only the coordinates based on the center of the tg, but being single objects are not in a single i3d file with relative xml and therefore I don't know how to put them in the defaultItems file |

| I also know some maps which don't follow any guidelines and have really 'wild' placements. Best bet in this case is re-arranging the object TGs in a new i3d. |
