Change orientation of face appearances on different faces on part file

[MikeKovacik4928]

Hi Inventor Users around the world

See photo above

I am wanting to know if there is any way of lining up or orientating appearances

on different faces in a single ipt, or if I have to draw the wall as an assembly with separate bricks

in order to get the bricks correctly aligned and orientated.

By the way, I am trying this on Inventor 2017,

However I don't think that should make any difference,

the Inventor 2017 help is the same as the link you sent me.

@MikeKovacik4928 The manipulator icon is usually located centered on the face in which you are trying to manipulate..

Please post a screenshot showing your entire display..

Thanks

Never saw it!

It wasn't on the face but it was there.

Probably because the face had a cut out.
