I tried to rotate the axis with the rotate translate on and the axis doesn’t move / turn.
I pressed on F8 to get into the component mode and still can’t rotate the axis.

Here’s the video I capture to show my problem. Appreciated for any help.

Thank you

it doesnt look like your selecting the joints axis, try turning all selection mask bar the misc (question mark on right) in the component mode, and selecting from one of the axis handles rather than the centre.

Hope that helps.

Hi Lee,

I tried to do what you suggested, still the axis won’t rotate.
Thanks mate.

No probs.
hmm, not too sure.
Make sure your rotate tool isnt on Gimbal, cant seem to rotate axis with gimbal on.

Other than that I cant think of anything off the top of my head.
Possible to send a file?

Hi,

It’s not in Gimbal. I actually tried them all and nothing seems to work.
Weird. But thanks mate for trying. Appreciated.
