We present preliminary results from an ongoing study of rotation in triaxial elliptical galaxies. Using a newly developed adaptive particle method, we first construct a model of a rotating triaxial galaxy. We then attempt to build a non-rotating model with the same density and projected velocity and dispersion maps. Finally we compare the projected kinematic data to see whether we can distinguish between the rotating and non-rotating models.
