How do I change the orientation of the lamp model in Rhino, for example, from base-up to base-down?
• Select the lamp model from the Top view so as to include the text entity included in the model. • Select Transform -> Rotate from the main menu. • Enter the lamp location as the Center of Rotation. If the lamp has not been moved after importing it, then enter 0,0,0. • Enter the desired rotation angle noting that the effect on the lamp changes depending on which view is “active.” The active view is the one in which your mouse is located and whose label is highlighted in blue. If you are changing a lamp from base-up to base-down, put your mouse in the Front view (assuming you are using Rhino’s standard 4 view port screen configuration) and then enter a value of 180 degrees. • Click your mouse on some blank part of the CAD view to de-select the lamp model.
