Posted: Fri Sep 25, 2009 11:58 pm Post subject: Edit and 3D view gimble lock? |
|
|
I'm posting this here because I don't think it's a bug, but then again maybe it is... I don't know.
But sometimes in both the Edit and 3D view I get what I can only describe as gimble lock, only not exactly. Gimble lock is where you lose the ability to rotate on one of the 3 axes, but what's happening here is often each of the 3 axes seems to get locked in a way that I can only rotate 180 degrees on each.
In other words, picture a model facing forward. I can rotate the "camera" on the X axis, but only 180 degrees, and only in one direction.
On the Y axis, I can still do only 180 degrees, but in both directions, and can't really rotate in Z at all - more like a tumble in Z.
Is there some way of snapping it out of this behavior? Sometimes I can jerk it around a bunch and get it to pass what seems like some kind of a limit, and sometimes the Home key resets it, but it's really kind of random.
Thanks.  |

Open up the Display button and then click on the "free" button. This will unlock all axis to full 360 rotations. |

Thank you, that did the trick. Much obliged!
It was set on Z. I guess that's a default, and I never noticed those buttons, or never thought about them. |
