map rotated to object in Model mode

[andy.engelkemier]

I was going to ask how the heck to do this, but when I went to screen grab an animated gif of what was going on, it was fixed.

I have a model that was imported with the lid opened 90 degrees. So in the model tree, that is the only part with rotation.
I applied a flat material with a gradient on it to Everything. I'm just making a mask for an interesting effect in photoshop.

But I have two problems here. 1, I can't see the planar map. I can move it, I just can't see the orange representation of the map in 3D space.
And 2, it didn't matter if I had the mode set to center on Model, or center on Part. The lid Always had the map rotated 90 degrees. I rotated the map in all sorts of axis, and it didn't change. It was always rotated 90.

Well, keyshot doesn't have a way to freeze transforms. I ended up taking just that part outside of it's parent. We rotated the parent. The part took on the 90 degree rotation itself. But I switched back to center on model, and now it works as expected.
I still don't see the map, so it's difficult to know if the extents are correct, but it's really odd that a planar map is happening on multiple objects, but respecting the rotation in the first place.

I mean, that's ok, and could be desired, but I need to a way to freeze rotation then. If that was animated, yeah, I wouldn't want the texture to slide, so would need to be applied to the part.

It's very odd, so I thought i'd mention how it happened.
