[ADDED] Object rotation

I find it really useful to be able to angle objects to maximize build plate. I can make my changes within my CAD program, but I would hope to see something a little more comparable to Cura's object manipulation. I know about the ctr-left click to move the object, only helps slightly.

Re: Object rotation

It already has object rotation. You can use alt-click with the mouse to do this in real-time or double-click on the part if you want to enter a specific angle.

You might want to read the quick start guide if you haven't already. It explains all of these mouse and keyboard shortcuts

Re: Object rotation

I think that he means angle snapping.. that is something that would be good to see in the software..

its easy to turn the object on the build platform but you never know if its truly at the right angle..

maybe implement a snap every 5 / 10 or 15 degrees ?

That would make turning object so simple and easy

Re: Object rotation

You can just double-click an object and type in the angle you want in the Z-Axis rotation field.

Re: Object rotation

There are several different ways to do this in the latest version 3.0 software. Please see the videos below:
