xform rotate object space

[Mathew Schwartz]

When having an object selected, like a newly created box, performing the command:

cmds.xform(ro=(10,0,30), os=True)

gives the same result as 

cmds.xform(ro=(10,0,30), ws=True)

Both of them show the object rotation is 10,0,30 when querying the respective transformations.

I am trying to rotate in object space, 10 in x, then 30 in z.  The final rotation angles should be

x = 8.68220390105

y = -4.98092532193

z = 29.6216518752

when using 

cmds.xform(ro=(10,0,30), os=True)

cmds.xform(ro=True, ws=True, query=True)

I tried using the euler flag, relative, etc.  but can not get the correct transformation.  What am I doing wrong?

Hi Mathew

Can you share more information on the transforms and hierarchy of the object you are trying to transform? Eg. What are its parent's world space rotation values, The object's current rotation and rotation order.

Also, it may help us help you if we could know why you need or are expecting those specific final values. 

Perhaps the values you are expecting are for a rotation order different than the object that is being tested?

Let us know.

Chad

It's best to always test on several objects, one scaled, one rotated, one transformations frozen, ect.. and you'll find the thing eventually... May I ask why you would do all that ?
