Hi community,

I imported a model from dimension.

I did some work on model and started circle animation, but model circles vertical and not horizontal.

Trying to rearrange model to the ground failed.

Now I see strange xyz signs never seen before. see screenshot.

What´is wrong there.

How can I solve that? Please help.

Thanks

Hans

Correct answer AEllard

The current limitation is that both spin and orbit are limited to Y-Up axis. The work around is to rotate your cylinder the way you want it to be, then put it into a group. Here's a quick GIF showing the setup.

Add your object and use the transform tool to move it "up" orientation as you'd like
Put the object in a new group "Cmd/Ctrl + G"
Select the group object
In the properties panel > Animation tab > add the "Spin" animation to the group

Ares is correct, clicking that button "move to ground" will lift your entire 3D model above the plane, so when it spins it is always 100% seen, and never dips below the plane. I had a question perhaps like this, where I wanted rotations to be done on the X axis instead of the Y axis and you must fool Stager into doing this, you can see the reply from the Adobe employee that helped me in my other thread. I wanted a simple coin shape to spin on a table, and couldn't figure it out, she helped me and wow ! it was like magic.
