Summary

When rotating an asset, creators can type in rotation values instead of manually rotating the asset with the gizmo. This works perfectly in all axis except for the green (Up/Z) axis.

Yes it hurts… z can no longer be greater than 90

Instead of 0,180,0 for a 180, it’s 180,0,180.

so one half of a 360* rotation uses 0, -90 to 90, 0 and the other half of the rotation uses 180, -90 to 90, 180

I don’t like the new system, I used to use transform box to rotate everything because it’s quicker, now I have to use the handles more… but if I do type it in I’m more inclined to use a single -1 scale with the 0,0,0, instead of typing in 180,0,180
