  • Question
    Why, when I try to rotate an object in the studio, does it show a red square and won't let me rotate anything?
    Community Answer
    • That is because you have collisions on. To turn it off you have to go to the top of your screen, press "Model," and if there's a box around the text "Collisions," click it, and the box should go away. If it still doesn't work, press "Constraints" as well.

  • Question
    What do I do if I can't rotate something because it says it's anchored?
    Community Answer
    • Click the object you are trying to rotate, go to the top of the window, press "Model," and there will be a button that says "Anchor." Press it, and your problem should be solved, but after you rotate it you should press "Anchor" again because if it's a small object, or if it's in the air, it will fall, and people will be able to push it.
