Merged curves in MayaLT wont stay together

Aasmund1986

I have created some geometrys with the CV curves and extruded them with a polygoncube. Then I merged the curves, but when I try to rotate the merged curves they all rotate in different ways like shown here:




Is there a way to avoid this?
I know there is a topic on this for animation (rigging), but in this case its modeling.

You cannot merge curves in any 3d software i know of. In your case the best is to group the curves, and move the group

There were no group-options in the LT version of Maya, but a combine-option which fixed it Thanks!

Other than grouping objects, which is CTRL+G, you could have tried to change the Rotate Center. In your case, setting it to Selection will move the selected object with the pivot in the center of the selection.

By default Maya rotates objects independently based on their pivots, that's why they seem to move where they want.
