Magnet rotation of multiple faces

#1

When i try to do this it says “Magnet rotation of multiple face regions requires an explicit rotate origin.” WTF is that? how do i define that?

:slight_smile:
… means you’ve got to define a specific axis of rotation + an anchor point thro’ which that axis passes… (needs the anchor point specifying)

With multiple separate (isolated) face selections - it’s enough to apply Face | Rotate > Y … and each isolated face / region will rotate around it’s own local Y axis - going thro’ the associated selection centre of each region

However, with a magnet op, the faces aren’t rotated around their own local axes - so you’ve got to specify a single, particular axis … ie - do a RMB rotate op + magnet … in essence.
