But if you go in Edit mode and modify the mesh, it won't affect the Loc/Rot/Scale of the object. | |

| Mar 29, 2019 at 1:01 | comment | added | moonboots | when you create a plane, it will be flat on the Z axis by default, if you rotate in on the X axis in Object mode you'll have to apply rotation, if you rotate in Edit mode, you won't need to, maybe you rotated in Object mode and didn't apply the rotation, if it's not the case the problem is somewhere else, hard to tell on a forum | |

| Mar 28, 2019 at 7:12 | comment | added | moonboots | you have to make sure that your object is shifted from its origin and that the rotation and scale are applied in object mode, maybe it will fix your problem | |
