Re: Bad Operator Update

["Daniele Niero" <xsilist(at)daniele.niero.name>]

Hi Andy, 

Are you suggesting me to create and use a different Transformation object, 
manipulate it and then put it in the output.kineamtics.global.transform?
Did I understand? 

Hi Mathee, 

Are you saying the same thing Andy is saying? If not I don't get it.
I cannot use as output the final channel, for example 
obj.kinematics.global.posx, because this means I have to use 6 output 
instead 1 as so have 6 update instead 1.
What I'm missing? 

Thanks a lot to both of you guys
