CIrcular staircase

Recommended Posts

How do I rotate correctly to make one center pole on a circular staircase? I am randomly able to do it using the reference point, but mostly it wants to rotate on a corner of the group. I need to spin like a clock from the center. I cannot figure out what I am randomly doing right. Thanks for the help it is driving me nuts.

I did it fast, I hope it serves you.:)

with ctrl + D you duplicate the object and pressing V active the free rotation

If it's not happening the same every time, maybe when you select, it is selecting the reference point as the last item sometimes, and sometimes not.  To rotate around a reference point (or any point you choose) that object needs to be the last object selected.

You can force this by holding CTRL and clicking the reference point to un-select it, then hold CTRL and click it again to re-select it.  This forces it to be the last item selected in the bunch of objects, and it will be the rotation point when you hold down V, as spyler says.
