Hi Michael,

Thanks for the explanation, I understand now and the logic behind it.

I'll be looking forward to when you implement the second style.

I wouldn't say the second style is unnatural though, because it is a natural way of working as a craftsman, like a jeweler or a furniture maker, where you are working with the object with your hands and rotating it around its local axis. If I was working on a ring, I wouldn't walk around it to work on the other side, I would just turn it over.

The style you have in MoI is more suited to an architectural environment and I agree it is a more natural movement in that type of modeling.

Thanks again
