Does anybody know if you can reset an objects rotation back to 0 after adjusting it without effecting to rotation you have set? I used a cylinder and instead of making it along the z axis it was made along the y adn i rotated it. Now its rotation is at 90 and i need it at zero but in the same position. Also, i've done a lot of modelling to it so i just can't make a new one. Any help would be appreciated.

before you rotate the object, group it. then rotate the group node (don't forget to set the pivot of the new group to the desired position). after rotating ungroup and voila.

help it helps. :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

you can use freeze transform under modify.

but with freeze transform the rotation axes will flip back and not stay at their aligned axes with the surface.
