Rotate#

Rotate adds some functionality to Drag the model.

In addition to rotating around a vertical (Z) axis with two fingers, which you can do with the drag feature, you can also:

• rotate around the X axis or Y axis
• rotate around the X, Y, or Z axes in increments.

Rotation is restricted to the selected axis.

While using the Rotate tool, you can drag along the X and Y axes with one finger.

Manually rotate the model#

1. In the Align menu, tap the Rotate button.

2. Tap the X, Y, or Z button to select an axis to rotate around.

3. As with the drag feature, use two fingers to rotate. Your fingers define the rotation axis location.

Sensitivity

Move the slider to the left to decrease or to the right to increase the degree of rotation (speed) during two-finger rotation.

Reset

Tap Reset to return to the model's rotation before the rotate tool was used.

This reset is independent of move or scale. For example, If you rotated the model and reduced the scale to 50 percent since the last saved alignment, when you tap Reset in Rotate, the model reverts to its previous rotation, but remains at 50 percent scale.

If you save the alignment, Reset does not revert the model to its earlier rotation.

Incremental rotate

In the Rotate dialog, Tap the gear icon.

• To change the number of degrees of the increment, under Increment: tap the + (plus) or - (minus) button.
• To move the model around an axis in increments, tap the + (plus) or – (minus) button for the axis.
