IVA Help?

[tygoo7]

So I am making an IVA for my mod and I can't figure out what's wrong. So basically, everything is rotated weird. Even if I rotate the mesh it still goes back to the exact weird rotation in game. Does anybody know what's wrong?

Here's the internal.cfg:

INTERNAL
{
	name = RodanCommand
	MODULE
	{
		name = InternalSeat
		seatTransformName = Seat01
		allowCrewHelmet = false
	}
	MODULE
	{
		name = InternalSeat
		seatTransformName = Seat02
		allowCrewHelmet = false
	}
	MODULE
	{
		name = InternalSeat
		seatTransformName = Seat03
		allowCrewHelmet = false
	}
	MODULE
	{
		name = InternalSeat
		seatTransformName = Seat04
		allowCrewHelmet = false
	}
	MODULE
	{
		name = InternalSeat
		seatTransformName = Seat05
		allowCrewHelmet = false
	}
	PROP
	{
		name = FlightSeat_Piloted
		position = -0.358,-0.003999987,-0.08699987
		rotation = -0.2699043,-0.2698644,0.6539866,0.6531665
		scale = 1,1,1
	}
	PROP
	{
		name = FlightSeat_Piloted
		position = -0.245,0.3949995,-0.06999996
		rotation = -0.3314142,-0.191342,0.4619399,0.8001028
		scale = 1,1,1
	}
	PROP
	{
		name = FlightSeat_Piloted
		position = 0.028,-0.2949995,0.4249996
		rotation = -0.2705981,-0.2705981,0.6532817,0.6532812
		scale = 1,1,1
	}
	PROP
	{
		name = FlightSeat_Piloted
		position = 0.028,0.2839995,0.4249994
		rotation = -0.2705981,-0.2705981,0.6532817,0.6532812
		scale = 1,1,1
	}
	PROP
	{
		name = FlightSeat_Piloted
		position = -0.256,-0.4109995,-0.06699976
		rotation = -0.1913421,-0.331414,0.8001029,0.4619398
		scale = 1,1,1
	}

}

You're using Blender as your modelling software right? You should try selecting all models and objects in your IVA scene in blender (You can easily do that by pressing B key and then marking everything), pressing CTRL+A and then applying the rotation. This sets the rotation of every single object to 0, 0, 0 , anyway how they are rotated really. Try doing that and then feexporting your IVA.

Just a guess, I din't know how to make IVA's at all.

Yeah IVA's are weird..

Are your part and internal set up like this? They have to be rotated differently relative to eachother.

All the rotation of most of the objects in blender is 0,0,0 except a few stuff but the main mesh itself is.

It's set up like that pretty much...also I noticed that its ONLY the props that are messed up, the location of the kerbals are fine and the mesh is fine.

Try making the props as children of the IVA model itself, so that all their positions and orientations are relative to the correctly-oriented Internal space.

Nope, they are still messed up.

Success! I don't know what I did, but I did it! Now to fix the rotation of the pod which shouldn't be hard.

make sure the props and internal mesh are all exported on proper layers, same process as exporting a part. the IVA tool only records rotation/position/scale of the objects to a text file, and doesn't change anything in the objects themselves.

internal space uses different orientation than parts and it's very frustrating to figure out for the first time.
