To rotate parts in Roblox Studio using keyboard shortcuts, you can primarily use the arrow keys on your keyboard. This method allows for quick rotations by specific degrees.

Rotating Parts with Keyboard Shortcuts

The most direct way to rotate selected parts using your keyboard, as specified in the reference, involves using the arrow keys.

  • 90° Rotation: Simply press the arrow keys (→, ←, ↑, or ↓) while a part or multiple parts are selected. Each press will rotate the selected parts by 90 degrees around their local axes.
  • 45° Rotation: For a finer rotation, hold down the Shift key while pressing the arrow keys (→, ←, ↑, or ↓). This will rotate the selected parts by 45 degrees per key press.

A handy feature is that you can even use these arrow key rotations while you are in the process of moving a part.

Here's a quick summary of the keyboard shortcuts for rotating parts:

Key Combination Rotation Amount
Arrow Keys (→ ← ↑ ↓) 90 degrees
Shift + Arrow Keys (→ ← ↑ ↓) 45 degrees

Using these keyboard shortcuts provides a precise and efficient way to orient your parts exactly how you need them within your Roblox Studio build.
