Rotating Lamps with Objective

When creating models, you occasionally come up against problems such as this:

Here we have three recessed ceiling spot lamps – but the ceiling is not horizontal and there is no way to rotate the third lamp in the angled ceiling… unless you use Cadimage Objective.

Create a section through the model so you can see the Lamp that needs to be rotated and select it.

Go to Objective> Tools> Rotate…

1. click to define the first point of the rotation axis
2. click to define the second point of the rotation axis
3. click to enter the rotation angle

The process is very similar to the standard ARCHICAD rotate – except we are rotating in the section view.

Once completed you can see the transformation:

Please note: the Lamp remains fully parametric after the rotation
