Command Overview

Interactive command to rotate wireframe data around one or more axes.

This command rotates data around a point which can be the wireframe centre or its centroid, or any user-defined point.

This command can be used to rotate entire wireframe objects or partial wireframe data including selected triangles. Where part of a wireframe object is rotated, your application will attempt to retain links, preserving the integrity of surrounding data. For example, if part of a volume is rotated, the result will remain as a closed volume.

Note: This command supports flexible wireframe selection.

Command steps:

  1. Select the wireframe that your wish to rotate. See Wireframe Data Selection.

  2. Run the command. The Rotate Object screen displays.

  3. Enter the Rotate By values that you wish to apply to the wireframe in X, Y and Z directions.

  4. Select the point around which the wireframe is rotated. Center, centroid or use the picking tool to specify a point.

  5. Click Rotate. This rotates the selected wireframe data.
