Rotate Objects

The Rotate Objects mode enables users to rotate selected objects around the Pivot Point. It consists of two submodes: Setup and Rotation, which work to define the pivot and apply rotation with precision.

Rotate Setup

In this mode, users define the pivot point for rotation. By clicking on any point of the bounding box cage, the pivot point is reassigned to that location. Once a pivot is set, a rotation gizmo appears at the selected point, displaying three interactive dials aligned with the X, Y, and Z axes.

The Sync with 3D Cursor

The Sync with 3D Cursor property allows users to synchronize the 3D cursor’s location and rotation with the current rotation pivot point defined in the Rotate setup.

Rotation

Dial Rotate Gizmo

Users rotate objects by dragging the dials on the gizmo. The rotation is applied to all selected objects, using the designated pivot point as the center.

Arrow Rotate Gizmo

Each dial also has left and right arrows:

• LMB on an arrow rotates the object by 90 degrees on the corresponding axis.

• Ctrl + LMB rotates the object by 180 degrees.
