Description

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

This command rotates data around a point which can be the wireframe center 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 rptated, Studio 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.

How to Use

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

  5. Click Rotate. This will scale the selected wireframe data as specified.
