1. An object can be rotated around the global x, y, or z axis by clicking and dragging on a marker.
2. An object can be freely rotated around the camera's backward axis when not clicking on a marker and dragging.
3. The selected object is rotated around the selected axis based on the angle the mouse cursor moves around the center of the view.

Going into instance menu I get strange numbers on xyz axis rotation that don´t seem to correspond to degrees or radians or anything I know.

osg::Quat xr = osg::Quat(-euler[0], osg::Vec3f(1,0,0));
osg::Quat yr = osg::Quat(-euler[1], osg::Vec3f(0,1,0));
osg::Quat zr = osg::Quat(-euler[2], osg::Vec3f(0,0,1));
return zr * yr * xr;

Question though. Can I set it to rotation mode, set it to z coordinate and then punch in the number 45 (degrees)? I would like the option of punching in numbers instead of dragging mouse because this allows for precision in placing a lot of things... Same with object movement. I sometimes click in the wrong place I guess and the object doesn´t get dragged along the correct axis. I would love to be able to select an instance, lock it to Z axis and drag it down.

• Moving the cursor horizontally rotates the object left/right from the perspective of the camera.
• Moving the cursor vertically rotates the object up/down from the perspective of the camera.
• There is no direct control to roll the object from the perspective of the camera.
