Change orientation of 3D scanned import

steven_armstrong

Hi,
I have imported a mesh. It is of a motorcycle cylinder head. The scan is skewed. I have created three perpendicular planes that bisect the part accurately. Now I need to translate and rotate the part to line up with the system axis. All suggestions appreciated.

So I must make a second part, correctly oriented and mate to that?

No. You may well generate other parts but initially not needed.
You'll need 2 mate connecters to transform by mate connecters.
In provided example, drag the roll bar up and down to see the result of transform.

Transform by mate connector is your friend here.

Does that imply moving the part into an assembly?
