The Notation Editor - Half Turn Face Twists

A half turn face twist denotes a 180° turn of one of the six faces of the cube.

Please note: Half turn face twists are available only, if quarter turn face twists are enabled.

The «Half Turn Twists» checkbox:

Tick this checkbox to enable support for half turn face twists by the notation.

When this checkbox is ticked, then entry fields for clockwise and anticlockwise half turn twists are shown below the checkbox.

«Clockwise» and «Anticlockwise» text fields:

Use these text fields to specify the keywords for half turn face twists.

You should specify at least one keyword for each face of the cube. For a face you can either fill in keywords for clockwise turns, anticlockwise turns or for both directions.

If you enter multiple words in a text field, then each word represents a keyword. The first word in a text field is used by CubeTwister for output of scripts in this notation.

Example 1:

If you fill in the text fields as shown in the table below, then the words «R2», «U2», «F2», «L2», «D2» and «B2» denote keywords for 180° clockwise turns of the cube faces.

Example 2:

If you fill in the text fields as shown in the table below, then the words «R2», «U2», «F2», «L2», «D2» and «B2» denote keywords for 180° anticlockwise turns of the cube faces.

Example 3:

If you fill in the text fields as shown in the table below, then the upper case words «R2», «U2», «F2», «L2», «D2» and «B2» denote keywords for 180° clockwise turns of the cube faces. The words in lower case denote keywords for anticlockwise turns.

Example 4:

If you fill in the text fields as shown in the table below, then both upper case and lower case words «R2», «U2», «F2», «L2», «D2» and «B2» are accepted as keywords for 180° clockwise turns of the cube faces. CubeTwister will always use the words written in upper case for output since they have been specified first in the text fields.
