How do I spin in 3D view?
Hey
Great to see AC3D is still alive and kicking (Hi Andy!). I'm not what you would call a power-user so don't laugh. I dip in ever year or two and try to knock up some 3d logos for my website. One thing I did like about AC3D in previous versions was the ability to spin 3D models in the 3D view by left kicking the mouse on the view and throwing the objects so that they span. For some reason in v6 I can't seem to do that. I assume that it's a feature that's become optional that I need to turn on? Help! I want to spin objects so that they spin around with the same smoothness that Andy loved showing me on his SGI box (back in the day). --Alan |

I never knew that was possible...I guess they only have manual spin now.

In fact I've just loaded up v4 and it does it fine.
Weird! --Alan |

Ok, solved it myself.
You have to press ALT to spin things, although it seems you can't flick them and send them spinning like before. --Alan |

I never had V4.0, It would be nice if they reintroduced that!
