Rotating the Object

Click the Rotate button on the toolbar.

Notice that the Action Restrictors are now labeled X, Y and Z, and only the X button is pressed.

You can rotate on one axis at a time. Note that rotations can be confusing so take it slow!

Try moving the object around the Y axis. Click the Y button and move the mouse in the Scene window while holding the left mouse button.

Note that when you rotate the object, axis markers (colored lines) appear. The color of the line indicates the axis (X is red, Y is Green, Z is Blue). The position of the line shows the actual axis of rotation.
