I can’t get this to work. It won’t toggle. Its in constant “same X & Y” toggle OFF.

I’ll stick with rotating the axis separate as well. This worked out well. Thanks.

Oh, I see. I tried the points first but couldn’t remember a new face is generated from points not edges – stupid me…

Anyways, the box worked if only using one face of it. A rookie method, but still. I like your idea better since I finally “got it”. I’m going to try that soon.

As for the angles and orders, I kept rotating and undoing until it looked right. In fact, I ended up rotating around both axis in the same transform window prompt (-15 and -25 degrees I think). I wonder what the algorithm is as compared to doing them separate and in different orders? No need to answer, just thinking out loud…

All the best,

Petter

Hi all,

I worked on it for many hours last night and finally got it working. I was a little thrown off by the “rectangle” in michaelf’s guide, but finally figured it to be a “box”. I’m not sure if that was what was intended, but it worked.

I made probably a dozen iterations before I got it right. As I said, all this was done last night, so it took place before kghs’s comment. I’ll take a look at that this weekend. For most of my purposes, medium accuracy seems to work well enough. An interesting and valuable comment none the less.

Thanks for commenting.

Lengthy is good! It’s a sign it wasn’t a trivial question!

I have to try it tonight when I get home.

Thanks Michaelf for your help, really appreciate it.

Thanks Marven! Really appreciate it.

Thank you for your quick response.

I agree it makes sense to have both. Looking forward to the update!
