Hi, I’m getting a strange effect where, when I rotate a card, the base layer rotates (the back of the card), but when I flip the card face-up, the 2nd layer is no longer rotated and it cannot rotate. Is there a way to apply ‘can rotate’ to layers? Note that I am using layers instead of masks because I want to keep drawn cards unrevealed. ![Screenshot_1](https://forum.vassalengine.org/uploads/default/original/2X/9/98d00b2f71e79cb916d6a793eef780fd8aaee342.png) ---

The Can Rotate trait needs to be _outside_ all of the traits you want rotation applied to. ---

Thank you, could you please explain how to do that? Is it done by layering prototypes? Edit: Yes, that works now, I need to have the ‘can rotate’ option in the same ‘level’ as the Layers and it works. Thanks!
