As we know, one of the features of SketchUp to rotate the object image is Rotate tool. Usually beginners like me to use this tool only to rotate the model editing tool group / component that is so. Little did the proper functioning of this tool for modeling in the form of a geometry.

Well this time I try to share how can we enable the rotate tool is more than usual for modeling.

First , certainly not in a state geometry object in the component group. If you want to change the form that has been grouped should edit groups or explode. But I suggest that first group to edit and remove objects that will modif rotate tool is out of the group.

Second . Select the object that will rotate, can be edge / line or in the form of face. Could one object only, or more than one.

Third . Click the tool Rotate or press the keyboard R. Position where the center of rotation. The center of rotation would be devastating to forms generated by this rotate tool.

Fourth . You can experiment with different shapes. Neither form of simple or complex shapes. Try to alter the center of rotation. Can also choose a different face-object position and number.

As an illustration, please watch this video. Sorry unedited ... hehehe
