Just a little problem. I've loaded a 3D Object.. But its pointing the wrong way. I've tried to rotate the object 180 degrees using dbYRotateObject(ObjNo., 180); etc. But it wont rotate because I am also pointing the object to a specified point during the loop. Code:


During my object declarations I have this:


No matter what degree I try to rotate it.. the PointObject takes priority over my first rotation. Is there any way to change the "front" of the 3D Object without rotating it?

Thank You.

dbFixObjectPivot()

Rotate your object so that it faces the way that you want correctly, then dbFixObjectPivot() to 'fix' that rotation - further rotations will take into account the 'fixed' rotation.
