Rotate

Select the model objects that you want to rotate. Then click the button (see image ModelingTools ). In the 'Rotate' dialog box, specify whether the objects are to be copied when rotating, and define the parameters.

02 Dialog Box "Rotate/Copy"

Base

The Main tab manages the basic parameters for rotating objects.

Copy

If there is no tick set in the 'Create copy' check box, the selected objects will be rotated. If you want to create one or more copies, tick the check box. Then, enter the 'Number of steps' that describes the quantity of copies.

Rotation Parameters

Enter the 'Rotation angle' Φ. The angle is related to a coordinate system that is oriented clockwise. When creating several copies, the 'Total' check box controls whether the angle is applied between the individual copies or between the original and the last copy.

You can define the 'rotation point' using the coordinates or graphically with the button.

Numbering

The Numbering tab is only displayed when copying. You can influence the numbering of the new objects here.

04 Adjusting Numbering

The functions of this tab are described in the chapter MovingandCopying .
