# Transform: Rotate

We can rotate an object along the **X**, **Y** and **Z axes.** To do this we must have the option **Gumball** activated in the lower menu.

X-Axis Rotation: Red

Y-Axis Rotation: Green

Z Axis Rotation: Blue

To rotate we will **click** on the rotation arc and drag.

**Tip:** By pressing each of the rotation arcs we can establish a specific angle.

To rotate an object about a specific point we can:

* Access the Transform → Rotate → Select the element → left-click on the pivot point of rotation → drag the cursor up to one second rotation point → Left click to confirm the point →  create a rotation arc → Left click to confirm the new position.

Tip: Pressing shift while we we move along the created arc, we will get more precision.

* Write Rotate in the command bar and follow the same procedure.

Tip: We can copy elements while rotating. Typing the command Rotate, or pressing the Rotate tab, type C in the command bar, and press Enter. In this way we activate the copy mode. To cancel copy mode, we'll type C again and press Enter.

**Tip:** Once the arc of rotation is created, we can type the exact angle of rotation in the command bar.
