Land based objects - rotation?

ADM Mako · 05-30-08, 11:28 PM

Hey all...

I may be completely missing it, or not done a good enough search, but I specifically recall the ability to "rotate" land based objects in the 3D view (3rd page of the object properties if no air assets) left or right. For example, to orient a Naval Base with the waterline of the beach.

I can't for the life of me remember the key commands to do this. I've searched the Mission Editor manual with no results as well.

Anyone?

The only way I know how to rotate an object is to change it's "Heading" on page one and then switch back and forth between that and the 3D view until I get it right. You can left click and rotate the whole map in the 3D window and zoom in and out with a lift click but I've never seen the ability to rotate an object in the 3D viewer. It would be nice if we could.

Ok... that must be it then. I swore that capability existed... but then, for all I know... with all the games I play it darn well could have been a different editor.

Thanks for the replies...
