Trying to rotate Pat Shoulder With rotaxe On Axe
I have this!

Chipp,
Many thanks for this contribution! Should prove to be very helpful.

I don't get that, but I do get a different problem with Rotate on Axis:

1. Only has a problem with Rotate on Axis. Rotate works fine.
2. Select these Objects to Rotate.
3. After rotating, MoI mysteriously rotates THESE objects.

So there is a little glitch somewhere! :) (inside the code or / and inside Pat ;)

Hi Chipp,

> 3. After rotating, MoI mysteriously rotates THESE objects.

Probably a history update kicking in and updating mirrored copies when you are not expecting it.

To solve it you can turn off history updating for those objects - select everything and run Edit > History > "Disable update" button. With the objects flagged to not update with history it should probably get rid of this unexpected result, let me know if that was not it!

Hi Pilou, re:

That script error in Rotate Axis will get triggered currently if you pick a degenerate axis line, that means that the 2 points that you pick are actually stacked up on the exact same location rather than having some space between them to define a line...

So to avoid that error make sure the 2 points you pick for the axis line have at least some little bit of space between them rather than both points being in the exact same spot.

I'll make a note to update the command for Rotate Axis to just bail from the command when it received a degenerate axis rather than putting up a script error though, thanks for reporting it!

Hi chippwalters


thanks to you

Perfect mirror! :)

And cool for the info about the bug!

Yep, that was it! Thanks :-) I've updated the download and it should be fixed for others. Funny how it didn't *show* when in normal rotate, only in rotate about axis.

Thanks Chipp!!

Awesome, thank you

Very cool simulation! :)

Hahaha! Thanks for sharing :-)

Hi Chippwalters
It's a very nice infographics you have created (and the human ofcause :-) ), do you mind sharing the font you are using ?

Hi Hep,

Thanks for the kind words. The font name is FLUX. I believe it's free but I can't remember where I got it. I built the Infographics in Keynote, but you of course can use PowerPoint, Illustrator, Photoshop, Gimp or whatever. For me, it is important to have it all vectors so it can print out at any scale.
