Weird Rotating Problem....

[gjl327]

If you are working with faces, especially newly extruded ones, the multi-manipulator given will, to my limited experience, nearly always deform your selected faces if moving them away from their duplication origin. click on that little floating circle on the manipulator to toggle from multi-man to the individual transform manipulators ( trans, rot or scale ) Moving it with the individual translation tool should keep the geo intact. If that fails, moved/edit it by selecting the vertices instead of the faces.
You can also try freezing your scaling..but that's just my Soft experience talkin'

( I'm also quite new at this, so if this just sound stupid...well it doesn't hurt to try)

good luck

Hey, you won't have to worry about me flaming ya for saying something stupid, God knows I do enough of that myself. :D

Yeah, I tried freeze transformations, still the same prob. It's funny you mention that little blue dot to orient the gizmo. I just figured that out a couple days ago.

I'm completely and utterly stumped.

God, you know you've got to stop maya'ing when every time you try to move down the page you hit 'alt' and 'mmb'. :applause: :bounce:
