Latitude/Longitude: Available when Axis is set to Custom (or by dragging the center

control of the Spin HUD), these parameters allow you to specify the axis of rotation.

HUD Controls
The Spin behavior’s HUD controls include an outer ring and an inner control. Drag along
the edge of the outer ring to manipulate an arrow that indicates the direction and speed
the object spins. Adjust the length of the arrow to change the speed at which the spinning
occurs—drag around multiple times to increase the rate of the spin.

The inner arrow controls the axis about which the object or group spins. When you drag
the inner controls, a globe control becomes available that allows you to adjust the object’s
spin in degrees longitude and latitude.

Note: You can spin the arrow around the ring multiple times to rotate the object more
quickly.
