Maya : geometry warp when I rotate an object - need help

cornu

Hello (again) guys,

I have yet another problem : I am modeling one slice (one third) of a cylinder object and planning to copy/past the slice, rotate 120° and produce my final cylinder shaped objet.
Bad explanation, image are more clears :


Here I already did a copy of the first slice and applied rotation and steached. I m about to rotate the third piece. I moved the manipulator tool to the center of the objet for perfect rotation.



Here you can see that after the rotation the geometry is all warped. It is not a case of bad placement of manipulator, the geometry just "changed" ...

I had it happen once or twice on the first copy/past/rotate but eventually it worked. But I can't get it to work this time.





It is not the first time it happens to me, as I often chose to model one part that I will duplicate; but usually after a few retry, it eventually work.
Not this time.

Any idea ? Is it some option I am not aware of ??

Cheers, hope someone can unstuck me.

Interstly enough, there more I rotate the object, the more the geometry changes

Solved the problem by rebooting Maya

Typically this is caused by the object being under the hierarchy of another object or node that has also has transforms. It could be under a group, and parented under an invisible transform node. Easiest way to fix it is to hit Shift P(i think thats the universal hotkey, otherwise do it from the Edit menu) to unparent the object from all nodes, and then delete history.
