[Request] Rotation for Individual Objects
-
Hi all,
Is there a way to rotate one object (group) according to its own axes while other stuff on the screen stand still? or Anyone has tried anything like that? Thank you!

You might be looking for something else, but with the SU rotate tool you can drag it along a line to set an axis of rotation.
You can also rotate groups using the move tool, you first need to select the group->move tool and then grab one of the little red handles on the group that appear when you move your mouse over a face of the bounding box. It makes more sense when you do it...

Hi Max. You just create a new Transformation object using any Point3d, Vector3d, and an angle; then apply it to the Group.
The following rotates a Group around the it's own Z_AXIS by 90 degrees.
# First, select a Group group = Sketchup.active_model.selection[0] group.transform! Geom;;Transformation.rotation(group.transformation.origin, Z_AXIS, 90.degrees) -

What I really mean is "orbit". My question is:Is there a way to divide the screen into smaller scenes so that I can orbit each one independently?
Thank you again!

That... would be neat. Multiple viewports. I could see aplications where one might want to see multiple sides at once. All panes would reflect the work you're doing.
I like that. But I have now idea how that would get done though.

I like the idea of multiple panes that are interactive. That might even make the inference issue that people have a bit less challenging too.
