Rotation tools?

Heya everyone! I used to use lightwave in highschool, but as now that I don’t have access to the computers anymore and I’d like to get back into modeling I figured I’d learn blender! … Lets just say that Lightwave is a lot more up front with it’s tools…

I did however come here to ask a question on rotation, the translator has the xyz constraint arrows, but is there somthing like this for rotation? and what about scale? Kinda finding it hard to rotate things when they look the wrong way and flip upside down :confused:

You should watch some beginner tutorial.
If i get your question correctly, you are finding for a rotate manipulator? Here is the picture about the buttons you need: http://www.blendernewbies.com/Images/blog/kmm/keymap_manipulator_modes01.jpg
