    I have searched on google and came up with nothing.
    I have searched the forums and came up with nothing.
    I even asked chat gpt and the answer it came up with was:

    To disable gravity in BeamNG editor, you can follow these steps:
    1. Open BeamNG on a random map.
    2. Open the console by pressing the tilde key (~).
    3. Type in obj:setGravity("-9.798") and press enter.

    Is there really no way to disable gravity so I can rotate a wheel without it falling over straight away?

    Go to the environment menu, then scroll down and go to where you see “Gravity” and click on the “Zero Gravity” option, then click on it and then you should have 0 gravity after.

    Not a logical answer.

    Except you can literally pause the simulation, rotate the object in the way you want and then unpause the simulation? The editor is decoupled from the simulation.

    No it’s easy, Go to Environment in the menu, then select 0 gravity, and there you go
    Very simple.

    or you press one button and there you go. you'd still have to deal with the wheel having momentum if you go to zero gravity.

    Zero gravity is NOT disabled gravity. If you want to disable gravity, then the correct answer (as given above) is to press J and pause the physics. This will allow you to move, rotate, etc objects on the map without them being affected by gravity.
