Handle meshes now correctly rotate to match the target mesh's world-space
orientation instead of appearing axis-aligned.
Root Cause:
- Handle positions from HandleGeometry are calculated in world space
- Setting mesh.position treats values as local space
- This created coordinate system mismatch when rotation was also set
- Result: rotation appeared to have no effect
Solution:
- Extract rotation from mesh world matrix using quaternion decomposition
- Set rotation FIRST (before position)
- Use setAbsolutePosition() for world-space positioning
- This ensures rotation and position work correctly together
Changes:
- Import Quaternion from @babylonjs/core
- Update createHandleMeshes(): decompose world matrix, set rotation,
then use setAbsolutePosition()
- Rename updateHandlePositions() to updateHandleTransforms()
- Update updateHandleTransforms(): same rotation-then-position approach
- Add null check for _targetMesh in updateHandleTransforms()
Technical Details:
- computeWorldMatrix(true) gets complete transform including parent
- decompose() extracts pure rotation as quaternion (avoids gimbal lock)
- setAbsolutePosition() correctly handles world-space coords with rotation
- Order matters: rotation before position for correct transformation
Result:
✅ Handle box shapes visually tilt/rotate with mesh
✅ Handles remain correctly positioned on OBB
✅ Both wireframe and individual handles rotate together
