Position the fragment

The fragmented piece of the sphere is currently suspended in the air. To give the broken sphere a more realistic appearance, you will rotate the fragment and then reposition it so that it is resting on the ground.

1. From the Advanced Display palette, click the Display Mode tool to return to Wireframe Display mode.
2. Select the group of objects that forms the fragment.
3. From the Edit palette, drag the X axis of the Rotate tool until the fragment group is upside down.
4. Drag the fragment group down until the bottom of the sphere is resting on the ground plane. The stone object will be partially below the ground plane. Click here to see how to reposition the fragment group.
5. Click the Render button to begin rendering the scene.
6. Once Bryce has finished rendering the scene, the Render Report dialog appears. Click the OK icon.

Click here to see what your scene should look like.
