Rotate command in Sketchup

18.1k

The rotate command in Sketchup is used to change the orientation of objects. This is a simple and efficient way to create a 3D object with the help of a 2D tool.

In Sketchup, there are two ways to rotate a model: using the rotation tool on the toolbar or by clicking on the Rotation button at the top-left corner of the screen.

The following are the rotation methods in Sketchup:

  • Inverse Kinematics Rotation: This is one of the most commonly used types of rotations in Sketchup. It is also known as IKR and it uses a chain to link joints together.
  • Free Rotation: This type of rotation does not use any geometry to rotate the model but instead relies on the user to apply a preset force at each joint in order for it to work properly.

Some benefits of using the Rotate command are:

  • It can help with creating unique designs and layouts for your documents, presentations, and even marketing materials.
  • It's easy to use. You just need to select the text that you want to rotate and then click the button on top of Word's toolbar.
