      Hello! I have a flat shape that i create it by unfolding a 3d shape. How can i rotate the final flat shape and make it parallel to the one of the three main planes?
      Is there a quick way to do it or i have to use the rotate tool as many times as necessary?
      Thank you!

        It should only need 2 rotations, three at the most.

          Yes that is true. The problem is the shape! It's usually very strange and i can't be sure it's oriented correctly
          Here is a picture!

            You can make it easier to see how to rotate a shape by drawing a flat plane to work on, make it a group so you don't stick to it.
