Rotate

Select the model objects you want to rotate. Then, click the button (see the image Modeling Tools ). In the "Rotate" dialog box, specify whether the objects should be copied when rotating, and define the parameters.

Dialog Box "Rotate/Copy"

Main

The Main tab manages the basic parameters for rotating objects.

Copy

If the "Create copy" check box is inactive, the selected objects will be rotated. If you want to create one or more copies, select the check box. Then, enter the "Number of steps" that describes the quantity of copies.

Rotation Parameters

Enter the "Rotation angle" Φ. The angle refers to a coordinate system 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 "Points of rotation" by using the coordinates or the button.

Numbering

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

Adjusting Numbering

The functions of this tab are described in the chapter Move and Copy .
