This dialog is used to specify and apply rotation settings for a loaded object or selected wireframe data. Specify the required settings and click Apply to update the current view, or OK to update the view and dismiss this dialog.

This command supports flexible wireframe selection.

Field Details:

The following fields are available:

Rotate By: specify the extent of the rotation here, and the axis or axes to perform a rotation about. All values should be represented in either positive or negative values, as degrees.

Rotate Around: by default, rotation will be performed around the center point of the view plane, however, you can also elect to rotate around the volumetric centre of the selected object (Centroid) or by a specified point in 3D space (Point).

If Point is selected, you can either explicitly define an XYZ location for the rotation origin, or use the Data Picker button to pick a point in any 3D window that will act as the point of rotation.
