Partially rotating objects in editor?

Post by GottaLove88s »

Guys,

In the Map Editor, pressing R rotates an object (house, bridge, road, etc) by 90 degrees.
Is it possible to rotate objects by less than 90 degrees? Maybe 45 degrees? To set things diagonally?

Thanks!

Use PageUp / PageDown keys. :wink:

Thanks Amaris... Is there an equivalent of PgUp/PgDn for a MacBook? Sorry :oops:

I don't know.
If there is a Fn key on MacBook :?: try Fn - down / Fn - up :idea:

Merci Amaris!

Fn+up and Fn+down key combis do indeed free rotate objects... which is very cool...
EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED... thank you
:-)

Intriguingly, Fn+right seems to shrink the selected object, while Fn+left does, err, nothing...
Ooops... How to unshrink? I think I'll restart the editor...

Hey guys

There are Mac keyboard alternates for PgUp etc built in, not sure from which version but it's been a while IIRC. Use [ ] and { } for object rotation and you can use <> for scaling (so with these keys you can only get slower scaling, but it probably isn't a huge issue as it's pretty quick).

Cheers

Pip
