Hi,
For the past couple of days I've been trying to find a way to rotate an object
in order to show a front and side profile for publication. However, rotating
with respect to the x, y, or z axes does not produce the correct result (even
after moving the center-of-mass of the structure to the origin). What I need
is a way to determine the principal axes of rotation for a given selection so
that rotation about any one of these axes does not produce a "wobble" effect.
I've even tried drawing a rectangular box around the object and then drawing an
axes through the centroids of opposing faces but I still see wobbling. I've
basically exhausted all of my attempts at this problem.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Sean
