Cant Edit Reconstruction Pole Adjustment

Hello! I’m just starting to learn gplates and I want to do a reconstruction model from scratch. When I tried to do reconstruction pole adjustment, it doesn’t let me edit the information like the latitude, longitude, time, and angle. I could only move and rotate the feature but not apply the changes. Thank you very much for your help.

Hi ling,

That’s right. The adjustment needs to be done interactively (ie, dragging on the globe/map).

If you’re having trouble applying your rotation adjustment then perhaps have a look at GPlates tutorial 2.2 - Changing Rotations, Equivalent Finite Rotations, and Cross-Overs
