Hi mmutantbanana - Could you either A) provide a download link for your .blend file (via dropbox, google drive, or equivalent) for me to see what you're describing or B) record a video/gif demonstrating the problem?
Hi Kent, No problem. You should be able to download the .blend file from here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/16RCEPCYP94fLR9VjOhiQ9vZv5tK3VNCT/view?usp=sharing
Thanks so much for your help!
mmutantbanana hi!
The numbers in the Transform panel are for the Active Object, so if you have more than one Object selected you can get unexpected results.
Select the entire lid and rotate it back in closed position (R X).
Then select the wooden parts only and clear the rotation (CTRL A > Clear Rotation).
Now, if you select the entire lid, everything should rotate as expected.
Just in case you need it: https://www.dropbox.com/s/w3p2rhwmao0aak2/Treasure%20Chest%20Tutorial_fix.blend?dl=0
Hope this helps;)
