How to auto rotate/spin your ST4 model.

How to auto rotate/spin your ST4 model.

How to auto rotate/spin your ST4 model.

(OP)
Hello, does anyone know how I could spin my ST4 assembly automatically? Is there a macro I can use that will freely rotate my model infinitely.

Thank you,

RE: How to auto rotate/spin your ST4 model.

Infinite might be a little long... 2 options come to mind. If you want to simple circle a camera around your model, you can go into the ERA environment and can create a circular camera path. If you truly want to spin your model, you can attach a motor to it. Both topics can be found in the Help.

Thank you! I've used the ERA environment method using a circular path method because I'm not sure how to use the motor. Would you know how to increase the amount of times the camera rotates around the model using the circular path? Right now I use a 300 second animation and the rotation is extremly slow. But if I set the lenght to 20 seconds then I get at least 3 revolutions, I've played with the settings but there isn't anything that will increase the rotation speed for the 300 second clip.

I know theres a script available for ST4 that will rotate the model. I'm just not sure where to get it from.

Does CTRL + Shift + 1 sound like something that should work?
