rotate an object 2

[lwf]

what is the command to rotate a built object for a certain angle? Thank you.

You can use vtran command. You have to define new local coordinate systems and transfer your object to it.

For example

! define coordinates of the rotation point
xrot=0.5
yrot=0.5
zrot=0.5
! define rotation angle
xang=15
yang=0
zang=0

local,11,,xrot,yrot,zrot
local,12,,xrot,yrot,zrot,xang,yang,zang

csys,11
vtran,12,1,,,,,1

Hello,

there is one small problem with jiligeo's input code:

If xang has to be a rotation about the x axis, yang about y, z and about z, then angle sequence is:

local,12,,,,,zang,xang,yang

Thank both of you. Have a good weekend!
