 == Wrong Key Combo for Rotation ==
 Hey, this is my first post here. I just noticed that the Rotation didnt work properly with the keys mentions; Tom says y + RHM = rotate along the y-axis, I found that in my CS that the default was y-axis rotation, and had to use z + RHM for z-axis rotation, and x + RHM for x-axis rotation. Im using a laptop mouse, so maybe its just that, but I'd thought I'd post it anyways. [[User:Mc teo|Mc teo]] 05:41, 1 November 2009 (EST)
+:Welcome to the Wiki! Posting here and making the necessary change to the article is the attitude we need!
+:There could be two reasons for the key-problem:
+:*You're not talking about the same axis. With the Y axis Tom means the green axis pointing in a horizontal direction (from a gameworld perspective).
+:*Or you're using a german keyboard. A default german keyboard layout has the Z and Y keys switched compared to a QWERTY layout. The CS may assume a QWERTY layout, resulting in switched keys when moving the axis.
+:It's important to understand why this is happening in order to correctly update the article.
