Coordinates in the Z axis

[Johny8]

I've been looking at some examples where "Locate" was used in some commands for positioning elements in the 3D scene, these examples to put a positive value on any item, for example the camera was moving forward now to put positive numbers the move command, the object goes backwards.

Am I missing something?

What example code were you looking at? I not entirely sure of the problem, but some code might help clear things up for me.
Also since Purebasic 5.1 the "Locate" commands have all been replaced by the #PB_Absolute flag in the Move commands.

One more thing for future reference you may want to post your 3D questions in the 3D programming section.

Thanks for your response and will pass 3D forums.

Just have a doubt about the z axis, increasing positive values bucket moves backward from the point of view of the camera, something that bothered me, in the examples locate by putting positive values such as nature walks away from the camera.
