Hi!

I have a bunch of pieces I need to move from the top view. Currently I'm just using a transform sop, using its group to select the piece and finally move with a gizmo that is annoyingly at the origin instead of on the piece... ARG! Multiply that times 50 and you'll go nuts!

Is there some sop node that would allow me to simply click and drag on the pieces. All within a single node?

Hey, Olivierth,
Labs pick and place comes to my mind. But this works with pieces the user places not ones already placed.
Maybe you can look inside and it could be modified to work that way. It comes with the ability to move
the already placed objects so it should be possible.

edit: btw if you put in the xform pivot translate the gizmo is at the group center.

You can also use the edit sop - obviously, it is not procedural but it works with pack prims

Thanks for the help but both options are not exactly what I was looking for.

At the end, I created a tool that allows me to create 2 point curves (even points = source position, odd points = destination position). With some scripts, the pieces are moved to the destination point positions... And its procedural so, that's a plus for me.
