Torus 3D Rotate (Vector script)

[cdolan]

I have created 3D object which involved using a Torus which now I need to rotate as it was drawn in the X-Y axis and i wish it to move to the Y-Z plane, having found the 3D Rotate I did think it would simply be a case of rotating it around the Z axis but it would appear not to be true. Both rotating around the X or Z axis result in no change, only the Y axis rotation works which will only rotate around the X-Y axis (Rotate3D command shown below from script). Anyone got any ideas to how i can make it rotate through the Z axis?

ResetOrientation3D;

Rotate3D(#0.00000000000d,#90.0000000000000d,#0.0000000000000d);

Move3D(151,-29.999999999999801,667);

Rotate 3D works only on selected objects so you need to deselect all other objects before creating the 3D object.

It is usually better to use Set3DRot because it targets a specific object through its handle, which you can get with LNewObj.

Thank you for the tip, i shall bare it in mind next time i'm doing something similar next time The Set3DRot tool has a lot more functionality than the Rotate3D, wish i knew about that one from the beginning! Thanks again
