Hello,
Cplanes can be a bit confusing for me, but for a plugin I use I need to master them. I would like to make a button (or buttons) to rotate the cplane in different increments of different directions.
Someone I know gave me a tip of ('_CPlane _Rotate 0.0.0 10.0.0 45) for one of the macro commands, but that also doesnt seem to be working. The -45 is not recognized
How do i go about doing this?
Did you try commas instead of periods for the coordinates?
'_CPlane _Rotate 0,0,0 10,0,0 45
'_CPlane _Rotate 0,0,0 10,0,0 -45
I did not. Youre my hero.
Could you please tell me where i can find a “map” of the coordinate system in rhino so I can see which of the 0,0,0 0,0,0 I have to adjust?
Hi Ian -
If you show the grid with the X and Y axes, that grid is the map of the active CPlane.

Really excuse my ignorance as you can tell im new to this
coordinates are x,y,z and the 45 is the degree of rotation. so why are there 6 coordinates. 0,0,0 0,0,0
Each set of three numbers represents an X,Y,Z coordinate of a point. The command requires two points to determine a line which will be the axis about which the CPlane will rotate. As specified above, the coordinates are in the active CPlane coordinates. The macro above will rotate about the X axis.
Also, if you are rotating around any of the 3 axes, you can just use the X, Y, or Z shortcut instead of entering two coordinates for an axis.
