Angles of solids act strangely #356
Description
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Add a new cylinder. Edit the properties and set horizontal, vertical, and
twist angle to 0. Click the green check to confirm.
2. Change the horizontal angle to 45 and confirm.
3. Note that the twist angle has changed to 45 but the horizontal angle is
still 0. Any additional angles inputted to the horizontal angle will be added
to the twist angle. This doesn't happen if the vertical angle is > 0.
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would expect each of the three properties to indicate and control an amount
of rotation around an axis of the current coordinate system. It might be more
intuitive to rename the properties something like 'x rotation', 'y rotation'
and 'z rotation'
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Current SVN on ubuntu 11.04
Please provide any additional information below.
This behavior might be by design. I'm able to achieve the desired rotation by
dragging the handles in the 3d window but rotation the solid 45 degrees around
the Y axis (vertical) changes horizontal and twist rotation to -90 and 90
degrees respectively. If this is by design, please explain and I'll update the
wiki for future reference.
