How do I rotate my gumball axis so Z is up?

Hey McNeel Forums,

I’m wondering how to rotate my axis so that the Z axis is up. Right now its pointing right.

Thanks in advance,

Hi Zachary - if the Gumball is set to align to the world (Gumball context menu) it will always be World Z up (blue) ,if it aligns to the CPlane, then it will follow the Cplane Z when aacivated; if it aligns by Object… it depends but if a plane can be found on the object the Z will follow that, else the CPLane Z. GumballRelocate lets you set it any way you like.

Any of that help?

Pascal, this was very helpful. Thank you!

Hey Pascal, I’m actually running into another issue. When I’m in perspective, and when I move > vertical, my object is conformed to moved left-right, and not up-down.

Thoughts?

Hi Zachary - most transforms in Rhino are based on the current Cplane - that is, the plane that is active in the current view. The vertical option in Move constrains movement to the current CPlane Z. To make a Move > WorldVertical tool a macro can help:

! _Move _Pause Pause Along rw0,0,0 rw0,0,1
