   | |single_angle| **Single angle**: angle step of rotation is equal to the defined angle.
- **Angle** is the angle of rotation.
- **Reversed** defines rotation direction. If checked - in a clockwise direction, otherwise - in a counterclockwise direction.
- **Total number of objects** is the total number of objects including the original one.
