Is there a button for the rotation snap selection?

The tool is set by default. You just need to add a shortcut/hotkey.

Tnx...

still at it here.

Is there a way that when you move e section that the remaining section will behave like the one indicated with the arrow? move.jpg

the get the result move2.jpg?

2 ways I did this is
- move the rotation tool to the edge rotate rotate the whole section then rotate the other half the same way.
-move the selection set a guide line and the match the remaining pieces to the guideline.

is there a faster way to do it?

Tnx!

One way is to select the 4 short edge loops (see pic):-
Geometry -> Straighten edges
then
Geometry -> Common Commands n Tools -> Space Loops

nice and fast.

why use the Geometry -> Common Commands n Tools -> Space Loops???

since the straighten edges already accomplish it?

Is there something like that like select faces and straighten as well?

also how would I neatly align the red lines to the green above

Tnx!

"Space Loops" does not straighten, it evenly spaces the edge loops.

For faces, use flatten. There was a "flatten to 3 points" added (streamline basic tool) which is probably the quickest.

(see pic) 1. create guide line object on top edge
2. move guide line to bottom left vertex
3. create guide line on right hand edge
4. move bottom right vertex up to guide line intersection
you then select bottom 3 edges and "straighten edges"
select those 9 polygon faces and "Space Loop"

Looks like you had a similar question before.

Thank you for the videos
exactly what I needed.

few more things...before practice some more this week...
1.How would I recall a fuction that I previously used? let say I used the cut function then hit escape to get out but I need to use it again? In Moi you hit the right mouse button it will recall the last used command.

2.If I rotate a complete face of an item...and then move a few points/edges.
How do I align them all back to match the angled face?

Tnx!
1. Edit > Repeat Last Command. Not every command is repeatable. The repeatable last command name is display at bottom-left of the viewport.
