josue Corona Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 is there a command out there that can let you grab any object and decide in which axis to rotate it from ? I will send some screen shots of what I mean Quote Link to comment
josue Corona Posted July 16, 2019 Author Share Posted July 16, 2019 Ok I was trying to work on the plane where my object is in red. when I wanna do a line and I have automatically plane enabled it does not read my object in red. I even try to extruded and it won't let me extrude it. They are just simple flat objects. so I took the red object and flatted it out and made a polygon around it. it worked but then I could not rotate it back to its previous angles.

josue Corona Posted July 16, 2019 Author Share Posted July 16, 2019 I cannot even extract its shape in its current position. Quote Link to comment
cberg Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I usually make a reference object and use the automatic working plane function to help me define which axis to rotate an object. Automatic working plane is invoked when activating a command. I set it up as a toolbar shortcut. You can see the highlighted plane in my view is my automatic working plane. Useful in a variety of contexts. Apologies in advance if I am not explaining well. Test.m4v Quote Link to comment
cberg Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 (edited) While my geometry is not as complex as yours, I don't seem to have issues finding the working plane, even when it's not orthogonal... Untitled2.m4v Edited July 17, 2019 by cberg Quote Link to comment
josue Corona Posted July 17, 2019 Author Share Posted July 17, 2019 I see Cberg, you did explain it well to understand. Thanks for the screen record thats basically what I do and it does find all plane on my drawing expect the ones I highlighted on my screen shot , but I think its something wrong with my geometric so I am just remaking it again. thanks.
