Rotate with the 3D ring

Turn the current selection with the visible rotation ring and an optional exact angle.

The rotation ring is an interactive control for eligible 3D selections. It works with the shared rotation mode, pivot and angle-snap settings. Its plane and available axes depend on the editor and current selection.

1

Choose Rotate

Select an eligible object or element selection and choose Rotate in the transform controls. Use the visible ring for the axis or plane you intend to rotate in.

2

Drag the ring

Drag the ring to preview a rotation around the active pivot. Snapping uses the configured angle increment. During the drag, hold Cmd on macOS or Ctrl on Windows and Linux to suspend snapping and choose a free angle.

3

Enter an exact angle

Use the supported typed angle input or current rotation field to set degrees, then press Enter. Check the pivot before completing the rotation; a different pivot changes the result.

4

Commit, cancel or undo

Release the drag or confirm the typed value to commit a supported rotation. Esc cancels the current gesture. Undo reverses a committed rotation. A disabled transform explains which selection or operation is unsupported.
