ok, I see, I'm tired and not able to get the things right anymore...

Bernard,

Maybe something like this:

# PYTHON CODE

import win32com.client
from win32com.client import constants
from win32com.client import Dispatch
XSIMath    = Dispatch('XSI.Math')

# Get the items Transforms
oItemATransform = oItemsA.Kinematics.Global.Transform
oItemBTransform = oItemsB.Kinematics.Global.Transform
oItemCTransform = oItemsA.Kinematics.Global.Transform
oRotA = XSIMath.CreateRotation()
oRotB = XSIMath.CreateRotation()
oRotC = XSIMath.CreateRotation()
oItemATransform.GetRotation(oRotA)
oItemATransform.GetRotation(oRotB)


#Create Quaternions. oRotA.GetQuaternion(q1) oRotB.Quaternion(q2)

#q1 = q1 - q2
q1.SubInPlace(q2)
oRotC.SetFromQuaternion(q1)

oItemCTransform.SetRotation(oRotC)
oItemsC.Kinematics.Global.Transform = oItemCTransform


# END PYTHON CODE

Hello,

I'd need some guidance here. Say I have 3 objects. I want the third
object to get the rotational difference between the first two.

In a simplified example, the first object has rotx 25.0, the second
has rotx 15.0, so I'd want the third object to get rotx of 10.0.

I'm not sure at all where to go from there, using the XSI math
objects. Do I have to perform a subtraction for every axis of the
rotation?


Thanks
Bernard
