Create a turntable

Press B to show the Behaviors interface.
Click the arrow beside the Create button and select Turntable.
Double-click over the name box of the new behavior and type in its name.

This will help you identify the turntable if you create several turntables.
Press and hold the right mouse button over the turntable icon, and select Properties from the menu.

The Turntable Properties window appears.
Select the objects you want to place on the turntable.
Drag a selection box around an entire object to make sure all of its component objects are selected.
From the right-button menu, select Add selection to turntable.

The number of selected objects is shown in the window.
Click the Turntable Controls button to play the turntable.
If you need a simple turntable, you may not need to change any other settings. The following settings are available should you want to change the behavior of the turntable:
- For a vertical rotisserie motion, click the Rotisserie button (instead of the default Turntable button, which provides a horizontal turntable motion).
- To change the direction of the turntable (clockwise or counter-clockwise), select from the Starting Direction menu.
- To change the speed of the turntable (in RPMs, or rotations per minute), adjust the Starting Speed slider.
  (You can also adjust the speed using the + and - buttons in the turntable controls.)
- To change the location from where the object starts moving, adjust the Starting position slider. The object moves around the pivot by the number of degrees you specify.
- For the object to move back and forth between two angles, click the Oscillate check box and then use the sliders to specify the two angles.
  Note
  By default, the oscillation angles are set to 0 and 0, which would produce no animation at all. One slider must be moved to create any oscillation or rotation in the scene.

Add turntables to Storyboards

Turntables can be added to Storyboard slides and triggered with different playback options when the slide is played. For more information, see Set up a storyboard.
