Hi there,

I'm using Ornatrix 4 for 3DS Max.
In some cases, I need to change their orientation without changing the shape of the hair guides, i.e., rotate a hair guide around it's root.
I found a button called "Rotate Strands" in the Root level of Edit Guides modifier.
Looks like it can help me achieve this goal, but I don't know how to use this featrue.
Could you please give me some tips?
Thank you very much :)

In Edit Guides you want to select a Root and then click Rotate Strands button. You can then click and drag on that root to rotate it. You can also use the Rotate Strands operator.

Thanks

Thank you for the reply.

I have tried to click and drag on the root when the "Rotate Strands" button is activated.

But I could only get a "manipulator"(see attached picture), and it didn't seem to have any effect?

I don't know what I did wrong...

You will need to have Mesh from Strands on and some sort of non uniform mesh on it to see the effect.
