- Draw a point on the origin.
- Rotate your point about the origin using the rotate around a point tool (
). Click on the polygon (shaded area) and then click on the point. There will be a pop-up that appears asking which direction and what the degree of rotation is. Rotate the object 3 different times. First: , then , and all counter-clockwise.
