Rotate

Change a Block Model's Rotation Angles

Use the Rotate option to change a block model's rotation angles, that is, bearing, plunge and dip angles. The rotation angles are used with the origin point and the Parent scheme to define the position in space of the block model. Refer to the Orientation option (under the Block > Construction submenu) for detailed information.

Note:   This option cannot be used with block model files that were constructed through the Create Stratigraphic Solid option (under the Block > Construction submenu).
