Question

CREO JS API pfcViewOwner.GetCurrentViewTransform() and pfcViewOwner.SetCurrentViewTransform()

Hello, I'm having troubles using this two funcitons. 

Effect I'm expecting using this two functions one after each other. I see the same thing without changes by getting actual transformation and applying it to the model. 

Now let's see what's actually happens

 

let model = pfcGetCurrentSession().GetCurrentModel()
let transform = model.GetCurrentViewTransform()
model.SetCurrentViewTransform(transform)

This code retrieves transformation from opened model and i expect this transformation to be correct because I do actually see it in model and there is no errors in it. But:
 

Uncaught Error: pfcExceptions::XToolkitBadInputs in ProViewMatrixSet at <anonymous>:3:7


Is there any extra step needed to repair transformation gained directly from model?

Is there a function for that so users don't have to do it by hand? 

As i can see C++ toolkit has it but no mention about this function in JS API.

Next question is about used documentation from programmers point of view there has to be at least a mention about necessity of normalization if i read documentation.


I've tried for like a couple of hours trying to input pfcTransform3D into SetCurrentViewTransform and didn't succeed but for some reason if i input Matrix Property of pfcTransform3D it works. Like WHYYYYYY?!?!?!?!?!?!? documentation says: give me pfcTransform3D

let's follow with normalization:
that is a view I'm getting when i input any kind of matrix. Even normalized

this is view it has to give to me

i suspect i'm getting some kind of generic view in camera coordinate system so it doesn't thorow exception even if matrix is invalid
