Rotate

manipulating the input mesh with translate docid\ wm3gnn9imuphhb6i a np , rotate docid\ sq0wdrykjxrrswpq knyz , or scale docid\ dsawelg3sngwfskwae 1l may be helpful with some features to the get the result you want rotate workflow video text select input mesh input rotation option 1 manual rotation option 2 click and drag x y z rings snap to grid option 3 click \[shift+s] to activate snap to grid click the surface to orient downwards close window when done hide the original rotation if desired example use cases pattern the orientation of your model will influence how the lattice pattern generates in the design space adjusting the orientation of your part is a tool you have to influence the aesthetics of your lattice this example uses a voronoi lattice type note how voronoi's secondary pattern is more prominent in the y rotation in this geometry (no other surface controls were used in this example ) base the orientation of the part matters when using the apply base docid\ gopjf6dmsrjfbpp1dsncs feature ensure that the surface of your model that you want on the platform is oriented with that surface "down" in the xy world plane symmetry the symmetry docid\ xgfwsu4xhamedcbypufnf feature in the software uses the x y z cartesian coordinate system to specify either a plane or an axis to define the symmetry if a non orthogonal plane or axis is desired for symmetry in your geometry, the translate and/or rotate tool can facilitate your design goals in this example, the goal is to lattice a portion of the handle on a scrubber brush handle the section to lattice, however, is both at an angle and at a distance away from the z axis where we want rotational symmetry both the rotate docid\ sq0wdrykjxrrswpq knyz and translate docid\ wm3gnn9imuphhb6i a np tool bring the part to the z axis as needed combine the combine docid\ qgtfrfw3wkjeob0ey5hyv feature can merge the lattice and other part geometries into one stl file for download, but you may need to adjust part location to achieve the design goal in the scrubber brush example from above, after we lattice the handle, we want to move the lattice back to its original location to combine with caps on either end for printing
