Vertical Rotation of Objects (without GDL) - SOLVED!

Anonymous

Anyone here who has a clue?

I have started with a Fan-modelling, and are stuck with the fan thrusts.
Want six thrusts (60 degrees between), and I´m unable to rotate my fan as a object 60 and 120 degrees to insert to insert the last four thrusts?

Anyone here who can give me some tips, or a link to a tutorial?


Thanks!

I will use Complex Profiled Beams, that are freely rotatable accross their longitudinal axes.

You should construct the fun on plan view using slab with a hole, cylinder for the axe and rotated beams as trusts.

Hey!
Thanks for quick answare!
Right before you posted i figured it out!
I've used CPB for thrusts, but had to do the Fan Core/Frame as a Column, and not a Beam. To get it rotated in a standing posistion, I chosen Side Projection in 3D Projection Settings before Saving as a object.

Problem solved!
