- Figure 1 – Rotate Interface
Purpose:
This interface is used to rotate selected nodes. The rotation direction and angle can be specified using various methods for maximum flexibility to suit different user needs. Optionally the rotations can be performed on multiple copies of the selected elements. The Tran option is only available when the Copy Element option is activated. This option automatically deselects the original nodes and selects the copied nodes (ready to perform the next operation with the copied set).
Controls:
- Rot. Axis: Select axis/plane of rotation
- Rot. Angle: Enter angle of rotation in degrees
Pick node as origin – Pick a node as the origin of rotation
- Node ID: Enter node ID as the origin of rotation (Hit enter to accept)
- XYZ: Enter x, y, z coordinates as the origin of rotation
Global – Rotation will be in global direction
Local – Rotation will be in local system
- CID: Enter coordinate system ID, 0=global
Click button to select coordinate systems
Rotate the selected nodes in negative direction
Rotate the selected nodes in positive direction
Accept the rotate operation
Reject the rotate operation
