Hi guys, maybe I am too paranoid, but why it is told

OFFSET LIMB

Quote: "Specifying a limb number of zero provides access to the objects own root data, and should not normally be used in this way."


I want to make offset to reduce +variables while positioning objects.

From my experience Limb 0 is the entire model core Limb, consider it the top of the tree [or base?]

If your objects are joined to a core limb then just specify LIMB 1 Limb 2 etc.

I suppose if you joined one object to another to create an object, object 1 would become the root?

I will be experimenting with this eventually...

I’m sure you’re aware of how offsetting the root limb will affect the objects rotation. This can be useful for making such things as doors or by setting the offset past the object dimensions you can make the object orbit just by rotating it. As long as you are aware how the objects rotation and all children and siblings will be affected you’ll be fine.
