Rotate part along x axis

quinn_laird997

Hey there,

How do I rotate a part along the x axis? I can only get it to rotate along the y axis by selecting an edge of extrude. Basically it spins instead of tilting.

Thanks.

@ quinn_laird997 ,You can use view cube arrow option to rotate as below,

Thanks Narayan but what I mean is actually rotating the part along the plane (by using Transform I do believe), not just the view. I ultimately need to make a pyramid with 4 of these rectangles.

I need to use precise angles.

quinn_laird997,as you said ,you can rotate it by using Transform ,you have to choose a proper axis for rotating , if this axis is not available , maybe need you to create it manually .

@ quinn_laird997 , For that i suggest you to create a sketch. and use that as axis of rotation.

Rather than rotating a vertical beam you should consider creating your pyramid structure using one or more sketches then sweeping the profile along each edge. That way you have much more control over your model and your angles.
