# allowsRotation

A Boolean value that indicates whether the physics body is affected by angular forces and impulses applied to it.

## Declaration

```swift
var allowsRotation: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion The default value is true. This property is ignored on edge-based bodies, which are unaffected by forces in the system.
