# Advanced Rotations

In the **Global** **Options** screen, there is the option to enable advanced rotations which configures, by default, in what order the object will be ordered by on its axis.

**To enable Advanced Rotations**

1. Click **Start**
2. Select **Global Options**

3. Select **Shapes** and then enable the **Show Advanced Rotations** checkbox **![](https://cdn.document360.io/ae69c864-58f0-4711-91e1-d1c2f7dff95f/Images/Documentation/47e79c18-3bd5-44ff-a61b-1d525ecd2b07.png)** The **Show Advanced Rotations** check box enables the customisation of all three of the Z, Y, Z axis in the **Building** **Objects** dialog.

The default 3D rotation order drop-down sets, by default, in what order the object rotates on its axis. This can be changed for individual object groups in the **Building** **Objects** dialog.

Selecting one of the available options will then adjust in what order the axis will be applied in the **Build** **Objects** dialog.

The axis rotation is calculated in the order specified, in the example above it is:

1. X
2. Z
3. Y

> **Note: Hovering the cursor over the axis text box will display a popup which details rotation on the selected axis (X, Y, Z).**
