Urgent simple question,pls help
 

i want to make the rotation axis match the world axis,
How to do it ???
Please help me, i am new to maya~~~

modify>freeze transformations..
and modify>center pivot
:beer:

Error: Freeze Transfor was not applied because boxCover.rotateX has incoming connection.

what this mean?

oh, delete its history first :)
it should work

edit>delete by type>History

unless you need those 2 non-linear deformers that have been applied to the cube.

u can set the rotate tool's option to rotate in world axis [or locally]
u go to the rotate tool options [modify>trans tool>rotate[option box]]

IT WORK WORK WORK !!!!
THANK YOU VER MUCH!!!!
