How to Rotate an Object in SketchUp Free

Jul 10, 2024

If you're new to 3D modeling or using SketchUp Free, you may be wondering how to rotate an object within the program. Fortunately, it's a straightforward process that can be accomplished in just a few simple steps.

To rotate an object in SketchUp Free, follow these steps:

1. Open your SketchUp Free project and navigate to the object you want to rotate.

2. Select the object by clicking on it with the Select tool (arrow icon) from the toolbar.

3. Once the object is selected, you will see a series of colored rotation handles appear around it. These handles allow you to rotate the object along different axes – red for the x-axis, green for the y-axis, and blue for the z-axis.

4. Click and drag one of the rotation handles to start rotating the object. As you drag the handle, you will notice that the object rotates around the corresponding axis. You can also type in a specific angle of rotation as you drag the handle.

5. Release the mouse button to set the object at the desired orientation.

And that's it! You have successfully rotated an object in SketchUp Free.

It's important to note that while SketchUp Free offers a range of 3D editing capabilities, it may not have the full suite of features found in the paid version of SketchUp. However, for basic 3D modeling and editing tasks such as rotating objects, SketchUp Free is a powerful and intuitive tool.

Now that you've learned how to rotate an object in SketchUp Free, you can start experimenting with different angles and orientations to bring your 3D designs to life. Whether you're creating architectural models, furniture designs, or anything else, mastering the rotation of objects will be a valuable skill in your 3D modeling toolkit.

So go ahead and give it a try! Start rotating objects in SketchUp Free and unlock the full potential of your 3D design projects.
