509 Rotating your atom with electrons intact

- [Voiceover] : In this movie I'll show you how…to take our atom symbol so far…and we're gonna take these electrons,…which are currently filled with white,…and we're gonna hollow them out…so that they match their background.…And then, I'll show you how to…successfully rotate your atom…without the electrons falling apart.…Alright, so the first thing I'm gonna do…is select that ellipse.…Which is the one object that makes up this entire symbol.…And then, I'll go to my appearance panel,…which you can get, if you're not seeing on screen,…by going to the window menu and choosing appearance.…But, of course, don't choose a command…if it has a check mark in front of it…because that will make the panel disappear.…

Alright, then what you wanna do…is click on the top fill and Shift+click on the third fill.…All of which represent, by the way,…the three electrons.…So we've got three fills in all.…And then, drop down to the bottom right corner…of the appearance panel and click on…the little page icon to duplicate…all three of those electrons.…
