ktate403 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I made a wine glass which is just laying flat in my Perspective Viewport. When I use the Rotate tool, the wine glass geets distorted--so, I can't use the Rotate tool or I need to know the right way to use it.

Matt McDonald Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 when you have the object selected and have activated rotate either from the menu bar at the top or right clicking on the object you should see a series of color circles, each one indicates an axis. Mouse over the axis that you want to rotate the object on. Click and move the mouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktate403 Posted June 28, 2011 Author Share Posted June 28, 2011 No matter which circle I chose, the glass got horribly distorted. I will try again and get back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktate403 Posted June 28, 2011 Author Share Posted June 28, 2011 It won't work. No matter which axis I am on, the glass gets horribly distorted and so I have to reverse the rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt McDonald Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 are you maybe rotating the gizmo of a modifier or something? I dunno...post a screen shot and I can probably tell you what is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cad64 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Sounds like you need to reset the xform. You can find this option in the Utilities panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktate403 Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 Well, now rotates works as it should! I wish I knew what caused the distortion. Do you think that Scale or something was checked off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktate403 Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 Recreated the wine glass rotate and it was not the scale button that was on. Max is kind of buggy and needed to be restarted a few times.Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
