Something's going on when I rotate a doodad

[Noobnew]

I've been using World Editor for quite some time now but this is the first time I've encountered this lol

Could someone tell me whats going on? I'm using one of the Ported Models (https://www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/zin-azshari-restored-highborne-structures.333283/)

I don't think that's how it's supposed to spin.. right?
Edit: It also gets weird too when I adjust its size

Ahhhxx, the issue is that the editor applies transformations in a fixed order: scale first, then rotation. If you stretch a model non‑uniformly (exmpl. Y scale different from X/Z), the geometry is already elongated before you rotate it. When you then rotate it, the skewed shape rotates, producing a sheared appearance.

That’s why uniform scaling (X = Y = Z) or models that are naturally symmetrical (like a wall piece) don’t show the skew; they are either scaled uniformly or their geometry is such that the skew is less noticeable.

I checked these models. That model is a Wall End piece, it's not made to be stretched on Y, I know it looks cool but... better to scale it proportionally then maybe connect multiple pieces into a wall. Like this:

Spoiler: Wall

I thought it was weird at first but then I decided to get creative and turned the Curved Wall into this, lmao
