5 \n To produce a <b>Multi Rotation</b> in the <b>Main Menu</b> select
6 <b>Operations - > Transformation - > Multi Rotation</b>
8 \n This operation creates a compound of several rotated shapes basing on the initial shape.
11 In case of <b>Simple Multi Rotation</b> the object is multiplied by rotation.

15 The following parameters and options can be defined in this dialog:
17 - <b> Main Object </b> to be rotated;
18 - \b Vector defines the axis of rotation (DZ by default);
19 - <b>Angular step</b> is the angle by which the object is rotated. By default
20 (if the checkbox is not checked), it is 2 * \a PI / \a NbTimes;
21 - <b>Nb. Times</b> is the number of rotated shape copies in the resulting compound. If \a NbTimes = 1, the result contains only the
23 - \ref restore_presentation_parameters_page "Advanced options".
25 \n The \b Result will be a \b GEOM_Object (compound).
27 \n <b>TUI Commands:</b>
28 \n <em>geompy.MultiRotate1DNbTimes(Shape, Axis, NbTimes)</em>
29 \n <em>geompy.MultiRotate1DByStep(Shape, Axis, AngleStep, NbTimes)</em>
31 \b <b>NB!</b> There is another way to execute a Multi-rotation
32 operation, which is currently accessible only via TUI commands:
33 <em>geompy.MakeMultiRotation1DNbTimes(Shape, Dir, Point, NbTimes)</em>,
34 <em>geompy.MakeMultiRotation1DByStep(Shape, Dir, Point, AngleStep, NbTimes)</em>,
35 which works in the same way, but the Axis is defined by direction and point.

41 In case of <b>Double Multi Rotation</b> the object is multiplied by rotation and additionally translated several times in each direction.

45 The following parameters and options can be defined in this dialog:
47 - <b> Main Object </b> to be rotated;
48 - \b Vector defines the axis of rotation (DZ by default);
49 - <b>Angular step</b> is the angle by which the object is rotated. By default
50 (if the checkbox is not checked), it is 2 * \a PI / \a NbTimes;
51 - <b>Nb. Times</b> (\a NbTimes1) is the number of rotated shape copies in the resulting compound;
52 - \b Reverse checkbox allows changing the direction of translation;
53 - <b> Radial step </b> is the distance between the shape copies in the same direction. Translation direction passes through the center of gravity of the
54 initial shape and its projection on the rotation axis;
55 - <b>Nb. Times</b> (\a NbTimes2) is the number of shape copies in the same direction. If \a NbTimes2 = 1, the result is the same as for <b>Simple Multi Rotation</b>. If both \a NbTimes1 and \a NbTimes2 are equal to 1, the result will contain only the initial non-transformed shape;

58 \n <b>TUI Commands:</b>
59 \n <em>geompy.MultiRotate2DNbTimes(Shape, Axis, NbTimes1, RadialStep, NbTimes2)</em>
60 \n <em>geompy.MultiRotate2DByStep(Shape, Axis, AngleStep, NbTimes1, RadialStep, NbTimes2)</em>
62 <b>NB!</b> There is another way to execute a Double Multi-rotation
63 operation, which is currently accessible only via TUI commands:
64 <em>geompy.MakeMultiRotation2DNbTimes(Shape, Dir, Point, NbTimes1, RadialStep, NbTimes2)</em>,
65 <em>geompy.MakeMultiRotation2DByStep(Shape, Dir, Point, AngleStep, NbTimes1, RadialStep, NbTimes2)</em>,
66 which works in the same way, but the Axis is defined by direction and point.
