Tool changes the Transform Rotation of the object - Suggestions #3

Open Chreas opened 2 days ago

Chreas commented 2 days ago

I was at first not aware that the tool does change the Transform Rotation of the object. This is an issue for me, because when I export to Unity, now my rotation is some random rotation set by the tool and I've got to reset it (apply) manually in Blender. Which is only possible if I remember the original rotation.

Suggestions:

  1. please state clearly that this happens. I was not aware. I understand it's how the tool works, but this is not apparent from the general description of the tool. If it's already stated - please disregard.
  2. I suggest a button or possibility to return to the previous Rotation values after leaving the tool. Right now AFAIK it's a one-way operation = I don't have an option to return to the previous rotation.

I like the tool and it's very useful, but currently unusable for me because of this issue.

Hi, thanks for the feedback. What was the expected result you were going for if not changing the local orientation of the object? You're probably looking for a custom orientation, which you can create using the + button in the orientation menu.
