3dworks Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 i remember that this was possible in older versions of FZ but not finding any way to do it in 8.5 - or do i miss something? see this screenshot if i apply the Tform tool, i just can rotate the selected objects all at once the same applies to the edit axes tool. this was how we could do in FZ 6.7: it has already been requested in old forums some time ago, for version 7, if i remember correctly, so please, bring this functionality back asap! it is definitely missing, and i can not use FZ on older hardware efficiently anymore to get this job done. this is just an example, but my whole project has hundreds of these elements to be turned by 45 degrees, so even a macro will not help much here.. markus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Des Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I know it's not exactly what you're looking for markus, but you can do it numerically in the info tab of tool options. Just select all the similar parts and change the Z rotation and they will all change assuming they have their axis' in the same place. Des Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHTOH Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Hello 3dworks. Nothing could be simplier in FormZ 8: You should place your objects along the path and than manipulate them the way you want. https://youtu.be/63HU9SUtQZY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Des Hi Des, thanks for your great tip, this seems to solve my problem for now! ANTOH - thank you too for you tip as well, good wenn you build something, but all objects are already placed, their rotation need to be edited. Cheers Markus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

setz Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Quick Keys Palette - Nudge Tab I set rotations to 15 deg increments. 2 taps to rotate 30, 3 taps for 45. Remember to choose "Apply to Entities Individually" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
