Is the behavior of "Rotate Strands" at the root level correct with the OxEditGuides modifier?

Is there a way to rotate the billboard for each strand when making a flat billboard hair?
How do you work around 2: 30s in the video below in the current version?

Hello,

We made some changes in the current version and we are looking into getting this functionality back. I will keep you posted.

This function is very important when creating low polygon hair (billboard hair).

We expect early functional revival.

Thank you.

Just checking on the 'Per Strand Rotation.' 

In Max 2021, Version:  7.1.3.26447, it does not appear to work.

Glad to provide the scene, more info, etc. Happy to help!

Thanks again & all the best!

Hi,

The Rotate Strands tool is designed to work when you are using Mesh from Strands.

Thank You Jeordanis!  I appreciate it 🙂 !  

My apologies if I'm misunderstanding. 

I've been following the tutorials;  https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpRi3ovyFM-3j4ILyD5qoIEg1iBlfXiKT

But, I'm using 3ds Max 2021 (not Maya)

I attempted to use the Mesh from Strands, on a simple scene (just using a plane, etc.), 

but I have not been able to get the rotation using; Edit Guides > Strand Rotation > Rotate Strands;

rotate strands

 

Here is the 3ds Max scene file in a WinRAR archive;
