It seems that a minus sign before value does no help to the problem...

    Hi, Prakash Pagadala

    I have defined two rotational motions with linear velocity values. And they behaved as counterclockwise rotation.

    While they are supposed to be changed to clockwise rotation. How can I do it?

    Hi,

     

    a negative value should reverse the rotational direction. Maybe there is some other modeling issue.

    Try reversing the joints or markers on which motion is defined (flip the axis used for rotation).

    This is strange. Can you reverse the joint by creating a vector and check if that helps?

    Negative direction should work, but not sure why it is not. Could be a modeling problem?
