Rotate

The Rotate tool bends a body part at its joint. Rotation works in three dimensions, allowing you to make a lot of progress very quickly. To rotate a body part, select the body part you wish to rotate and drag perpendicular to the part to cause the rotation to rotate up and down (relative to your point of view). Dragging parallel to the part rotates it in and out, again relative to your point of view.

To rotate the entire figure, select it. Dragging the mouse up/down and left/right functions as a trackball and rotates the figure on its own axes based on your camera location. You can also adjust an item’s rotation using the parameter dials, as discussed in Parameters Palette.
