How to Use The Spin Tool in Blender

Spinnnnnn

[VaneTheLocal]

Thank you so much my brother! 🙏🏻 I got stuck not knowing how to swap axes with the spin tool, took a while but you just explained it so well and straight to the point

Thanks I’ve always figured this was useful but never took the time to figure it out

Thank you for this very simple illustration. Very helpful! Now I got it! :)

I learned this method back in my early days with Blender, from a Blender Guru video actually. I think it was from one of his modelling tutorials, probably the chair tutorial. It's very useful to know, though admittedly I haven't had to bend mesh cylinders much and have pretty much used curves to build pipes most of the time.

Short, to the point, thanks!
No time wasted here.

1. For Circles, your pivot point has to be a single vertex.
2. For Squares, your pivot point has to be an edge,
Once you found your pivot vertex or edge, you can also move the cursor with Shift +S (cursor to selected).
When you're ready, click on the whole face and choose your x, y, or z.

Thanks I was searching for a tutorial how to make turns to a plane and finally did it.

Powerfull tool, was playing around with it. Is there a way to make the spin tool circle radius bigger?

[chikoentertainment]

Why is my spin tool not becoming active?

[deltaray]

Thanks. Somehow the buttons at the top weren't obvious.

what is really missing is moving the 3d cursor like an object along a x y and being able to snap to geometry then
