Hi I have been trying to get to grips with the settings under the perspective menu for a while now. In particular I need to be able to rotate an element by an exact number of degrees but the incrementation seems odd (does not follow either geometrical degrees (360 for a full rotation) or % (100 for a full turn, 50 for a 180 degree rotation) If anyone could help me out with this would be very grateful. Also I need to reverse the image in an element (flip) if possible. thanks in advance šŸ™ ---

Hi there, The number you enter to rotate a component along the X, Y or Z axis is actually the amount of radians you are rotating that element by! When you are choosing an axis to rotate your component around, the X axis is straight across, the Y axis is straight up and down, and the Z axis can be imagined as going from the front of your phone to the back of your phone. The following is a screenshot of three Buttons which have been rotated by 3.14 radians (180 degrees) around the X, Y and Z axis. ![Screenshot_20190517-141602_2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/b/3/b3237ccb754ab7050ec65d9da7387d2a07ad3e66.png) ---

Thanks for this Jane. Appreciate your time Iā€™m going to experiment with this now šŸ‘ ---
