Something's been on my mind for a while now. I'll show you...

Here's a basic graph showing the X and Y axis:

Y|
|
|
|
|____________
X

As you can see, the X axis goes right and left, and the Y axis goes up and down. So how come:



goes left (X axis), and:



goes up (Y axis)?

Is there something I'm missing here?

Please reply soon.

Thanks in advance.

Because it dosent rotate in the direction of the axis, it rotates on the axis.

and its... the object axis...it mean that if you rotation on X axis....our Y axis..change of orientation.... then when you use 3 axis at the same time..its pretty..hard.. then only rotate X&Z directly ...on the object..and use a little object hided......under your principal object.. for the Y rotation...that your main object is glued to
