Description

On

Turns tracking on.

Off

Turns tracking off.

"Name"

The name of the entity to be tracked as it appears in the Entity list on the Tracking panel.  Must be in double quotes.

"Plane (Node1, Node2, Node3), (Model1, Model2, Model3)"

Example:

*Tracking(On, "Plane:(1244,1165,1062),(0,0,0)", OnDx, OnDy, OnDz, OnRx, OnRy, OnRz, 999999)

Node - Tracks the position of a node on a model.

"Node:Node, Model"

Example:

*Tracking(On, "Node:1153,0", OnDx, OnDy, OnDz, OffRx, OffRy, OffRz, 999999)

OnDx

Tracks the entity’s movement along the X axis.

OffDx

Turns tracking off along the entity’s X axis.

OnDy

Tracks the entity’s movement along the Y axis.

OffDy

Turns tracking off along the entity’s Y axis.

OnDz

Tracks the entity’s movement along the Z axis.

OffDz

Turns tracking off along the entity’s Z axis.

OnRx

Tracks the entity’s rotation along the X axis.

OffRx

Turns tracking off along the entity’s X axis of rotation.

OnRy

OffRy

Turns tracking off along the entity’s Y axis of rotation.

OnRz
