The Rotate command rotates objects around an axis perpendicular to the current construction plane.

The rotation plane is based on a picked point and the construction plane of the active viewport.

### **Steps**

1. Select the objects.
2. Pick the center of rotation.
3. Type the angle, or pick two reference points

### Command-line options

**UseLastCenter**: Uses the previously selected center point for the rotation.

**Copy**: Specifies whether or not the objects are copied. A plus sign ![](https://docs.mcneel.com/rhino/8/help/en-us/image/icons/copyplus.png) appears at the cursor when copy mode is on. The RememberCopyOptions command determines whether the selected option is used as the default.

**SubCrv**: Type subcrv to select part of a curve as input.

**Steps**

1. Select the objects.
2. Pick the center of rotation.
3. Type the angle, or pick two reference points.
