Rotate
Shapes can be rotated by any given angle about the X, Y, and Z axis. The angles can be specified as either positive or negative values, in RADIANS.

Defaults:
- angles : [0, 0, 0]
let myshape = cuboid({size: [5, 20, 5]}) let newshape = rotate([(Math.PI * 2 / 4), (Math.PI * 2 / 24), (Math.PI * 2 / 12)], myshape)
In addition, there are simple versions of the same function for rotating about a single axis.
let myshape = cuboid({size: [5, 20, 5]}) let newshape = rotateX((Math.PI * 2 / 4), myshape) newshape = rotateY((Math.PI * 2 / 24), newshape) newshape = rotateZ((Math.PI * 2 / 12), newshape)
There is a math function to convert DEGREE to RADIAN values.
let newshape = rotate([degreeToRad(90), degreeToRad(15), degreeToRad(30)], myshape) let newshape = rotateX(degreeToRad(90), myshape)
