Custom rotation - FlevasGR - 06-12-2014

Hello, is it possible to have a window like Blender which you can set how many degrees you want to rotate the object for example on X axes? I really need to find something like that

Hi FlevasGR!

...while in ROTATE mode: just press the TAB key on your keyboard
(works also in other command-modes)
it will open the NUMERIC INPUT WINDOW where you can enter your numbers.

Or ... depending on the angle(s) you want to rotate (or any other op) thro' ... hold down a a modifier key and 'click stop' thro' the required angle, whilst eyeballing info readout in top left corner.

Eg if shift modifier key is set to 15deg, rotating object with shift held down thro 3 click stops will give you 45 deg.

These constraint amounts can be changed, btw ... and you can also set up / define alternative sets for special projects / use.

Dialog box supports trig and other functions ... so you can let wings do the maths.
