Is It Possible to Access Axis Order in 3DSMax Script?

Coding

hi guys,
I am trying to write a auto rigging tool here, and I’d like to change the axis order of the bones based on the parts they belong to. But I can not find any where that allow me to do that, any idea?

any input is appreciated in advance, thanks :slight_smile:

to query an object’s axis order…

$yourobjectname.rotation.controller.axisorder

to set it…

$yourobjectname.rotation.controller.axisorder = 6

the number corresponds to the item number in the axis order dropdown…

xyz = 1
xzy = 2
yzx = 3
yxz = 4 and so on.

yes it works, thanks steev !

print $.rotation.controller.axisorder

for s in selection do (
	 axOrder = (in coordsys local s.rotation.controller.axisorder)
* 	 print axOrder
	 if (axOrder != 2) then (
	 in coordsys local s.rotation.controller.axisorder = 2
	 ) else (
	 print "correct orientation already established."
	 )
)
