SgtSandbags Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 (edited) To make it short, I've been learning the ins-and-outs of CSE and Construction Set for the past few weeks.. Everything is very intuitive and fluid, but one problem I have is Rotating multiple objects and them only rotating IN PLACE (individually). For example: --- I've seen multiple CS tutorials, and they seem to have no problem rotating more than one object at a time.. In the above image, I just want to rotate them so that the planks can face the shore more evenly.. Can anyone help me with this? Much appreciated. EDIT: Just now saw that I posted in the wrong category... Dunno how to move it :sad: Sorry y'all.EDIT 2: Found a fix... Didn't know there was an option for "Use World" for rotation... That seems to have fixed it... Edited August 6, 2021 by SgtSandbags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtSandbags Posted August 6, 2021 Author Share Posted August 6, 2021 Apologies to all, I found a fix when I enabled "Use World" in the CS Preferences... Dunno what "Use World" specifically means, but hey, it works! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pellape Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 (edited) Well I do think it means that it sets an origin in the middle of the selected references. To test if it is so, well draw 1 or 2 of those 6 selected references a part from the group, to see if the origin changes. But if I read "Use World" well then I would have guessed that the world origin would have been used, not the origin of the selected group. And thanks for enlighten us about this ;) Edited August 7, 2021 by Pellape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhahn123 Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 In CSE, when you select multiple objects at the same time, you should have a black shaded editor box pop up. Mine is over in the upper right corner by default. Tick the little circle labeled global. Then use your mouse pointer to click and hold on the x, y, or z rotation buttons in that box, while moving. In this way you can rotate multiple objects around a single axis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtSandbags Posted August 10, 2021 Author Share Posted August 10, 2021 I appreciate both of y'all! Many thanks for the explanation, Pellape and mhahn123. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shademe Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Alternatively, you can hold down the R key when rotating - That will perform the rotation in worldspace even if you don't have the 'Use World' flag turned on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
