Rotate 3D view "Roll"

That's a cool animation!

My post was more about how to get a right circular cone to have its apex pointing in the direction of the x-axis. Something like the attached file (Cone Generator 90).

If you create a right circular cone with the base in the xy-plane (Cone Generator), you can't get the apex of the cone to point in that direction using the built-in 3D graphics view tools.

I was wondering how to get something like in the second file from the first file.

select graphics 3d properties--> yaxis vertical

That's the answer I was looking for! Is it possible to toggle this from a script?

Thanks so much! My Javascript knowledge is not great, so I'm going to have to work on learning more soon.

If I create a boolean variable "yvertcial" and a text object "text1" is it possible to do the following in the properties of the text1 object to have the axis orientation changed when clicking text1?

(1) On Click --> SetValue[yvertical,!yvertical]

(2) GlobalJavascript---> Somehow use the two following:

void registerObjectClickListener(String objName, String JSFunctionName)

and

void setCoordSystem(double xmin, double xmax, double ymin, double ymax, double zmin, double zmax, boolean yVertical)

I'm not sure how to make that all work, but I think the capability to make a clickable text object that will toggle whether the y-axis is vertical or not is there.

Again, thanks so much for all your help!

I think the listener is not necessary

you can do an onupdatescript of type JS instead GGB script. See the checkbox down of edit window for scripts

the script must get the values of xmin,xmax,......... checkbox and use it in your command
