Rotate NOT WORKING

[Anonymous]

For the love of God I have been on this software for 9 hrs and I been trying to figure out how to rotate a polygon and it is not working. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE

Can u show what object /face you are trying to rotate?

In the Tool settings, click the Reset button and try to rotate the object, or select a face and try to rotate, make sure soft selection is disabled.

No it is not working. I even had other polygons to the panel layout and that too is not working. I am using the hotkeys. I click W and R both are working fine is just when I click on the E to rotate it doesn't seem to want to rotate.

Do you get the manipulators to show up?

[damaggio]

To test, open a new scene, create cube and try to rotate.

I did that too! Just know luck. Is there anything else I can do?

[Anonymous]

I meant no luck.

Hi!

What in detail is happening?

1. Could you see the tool handles like shown here in Maya help "Rotate Objects": http://help.autodesk.com/view/MAYAUL/2016/ENU/?guid=GUID-169906C5-CBC4-45CD-8DFB-F716D51D6168

2. Does the tool move, but not the object?

3. Does the tool not move if you try to move handles?

If the tool is not displayed correctly you may check and edit the settings for Manipulators in preferences:

http://help.autodesk.com/view/MAYAUL/2016/ENU/?guid=GUID-8740471F-BD72-4BDC-87B4-4DE870AD51E5

or reset all preferences:

I there. I had to ask my prof and she explained to me how to get it to work.

I go to WINDOWS- PREFERENCES-KINETICS- CLICK EDIT- CLICK RESTORE DEFAULT SETTINGS and it worked

Thanks for your help though.

Hi!

So it was a problem with the settings for Manipulators?

The Link to the Maya Help for this kind of issue as stated in my previous mail also starts with the following information:

You can set the following preferences in the Manipulators category of the Preferences window.

To return to the default factory settings, choose Edit > Restore Default Settings in this window. Note that this resets the preferences in every category in the Preferences window.
