Cristiano Alves Posted October 7, 2024 Share Posted October 7, 2024 Hello guys I have two questions about this subject: 1. Question normally I use the rotation tool on multiple objects, I am not sure but I think when I use this tool with multiple objects selected all of them rotate like as group. Yesterday, I was rotating some objects and the tool applied the rotation individually for each object. I like both behaviours but I didn’t figure out how I can switch between them. IMG_4846.MOV 2. Question Where can I find content/tutorials about working planes, layer planes, axis, lock axis movement, and rotating views? (Yesterday an icon appeared in the view types, between Top/Plan and Top, with a name similar to this) I saw some video tutorials at Vectorworks University, but none of them helped me to clarify these doubts or understand how I should use these tools for my benefit/workflow.

Wow, I thought this might be a new cool feature or upgrade of the Rotate Tool. Like being available in any 3D App. But unfortunately I did not find such an option in top bar and unfortunately am not able to reproduce your behavior here in my VW 2025 .... But I found that option, to rotate about Objects center, in Modify > Rotate 3D Edited October 7, 2024 by zoomer 1 Quote Link to comment

But it looks like you need to know your desired rotation angle before. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee JustinVanHassel Posted October 7, 2024 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted October 7, 2024 @Cristiano AlvesWere those objects that rotated individually Spotlight Lighting Devices? That behavior is specific to those types of symbols. 1 Quote Link to comment
