    I’m trying to add keyframes but when I click “apply” (in the rotation section) to the coordinates it just goes back to zero.

    Guidance much appreciated,

    Jean

    it sounds like you are working with the Coordinate Manager (down at the bottom on the right beside the Attribute manager) that’s not really for animation and keyframes. You’d want to be changing rotation in the Coords section of the object in the Attribute Manager

    How do add keyframes to the Coords section ?

    An object’s enterable coordinates are in the attributes manager in the coord tab. Just changing things there won’t do anything either unless you have auto keyframes turned on. Or you can make the change, then click “record active object” (bottom right area in the time line) to force the keyframe.
