Pose the figure#

Posing figures is done by rotating individual parts and joints, like the head or elbow.

  1. To rotate, click on a body part. A set of handles will appear.

Troubleshooting Rotation

  • Issue: Can't click on Rotation Handles Another part may be blocking your click. Try rotating around your camera until you see a blue box whenever you hover over the part you want to click.

  • Issue: Can't See Rotation Handles If you see a set of arrows instead of the circles, you'll need to turn the Rotate tool on by pressing R.

  1. Rotate by dragging the handles. Each handle rotates in a different direction. Undo any change with (CtrlZ or ⌘Z).

  2. Continue to rotate different parts until the first pose is complete. While working, change the camera to see the pose from multiple angles.
