Khilip Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Hi, I have a quadratic plane (2D) which I wish to rotate. I can rotate it so far only in 2D-space, but I wish affinity designer to assume that it is a 2D object in a 3D space, so how can I tilt this object? thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Ben Posted October 22, 2015 Staff Share Posted October 22, 2015 Sorry, no real 3D support. You can shear/skew and rotate in 2D to give a parallel perspective (such as isometric), but we have no vanishing perspective support.

TestTools Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 I have looked as best I can in the Help and in all the menus for Skew and Shear, but can't find those commands at all. Please assist. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted May 24, 2017 Staff Share Posted May 24, 2017 Hi TestTools, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) With the Mode Tool selected approach the middle bounding box handles of the objects from the outside until the cursor changes to two opposite arrows, then click and drag to skew/shear the object. The bounding box corner handles work the same way. mouse over them to scale the object, approach from outside until the cursor changes to a rotate icon then click and drag to rotate objects.

SM Designs Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Hey, last response to this topic is from 2017, so is there now a possibility to perform a 3D rotation or is such a function in planning? Best Regards, Sebastian TylerStrawberry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmar Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Reviving this topic... which is a wee bit overdue, not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted November 2, 2020 Staff Share Posted November 2, 2020 Hi SM Designs, Helmar, There's no way to perform rotations (or any other operation in 3D space) nor is anything planned in this area as far as i'm aware. Affinity Designer is strictly a 2D design app. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmar Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Thanks, @MEB. It's a pity, because calculation- and display-wise it shouldn't be a big deal. But even AFP is severely limited with it's mesh transform feature, rendering it nearly useless. But, hope dies last. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
