Copy and paste object on build platform?

Is there a way to duplicate objects on the build platform instead of loading each one?
My issue is in trying to print a few of a part, which needs to be rotated. Hence, I need to load each one individually, then double click on the part, then type in the new xyz rotational coordinates. Time consuming. Would be great to load one, rotate it correctly, then copy that same one multiple times.

Ooops, looks like menu item Models->Duplicate Models does it!
Now I only wish I could rotate the model in real time instead of having to hit "Save" everytime.

You can rotate in real-time using Alt + left click

Or if you're on a mac, Option+Click rotates your model

You can only rotate in the Z. I need the ability to rotate in X and Y. Having to click SAVE, then realize you have the wrong amount, going back to the screen and doing it again, is extra work. Looking for at least 90deg in each axis, one click rotates so you can view.

It would help if you had the option to press "apply" within the settings box, and have the model rotate or move without closing the box

Or, just have the model rotate live as you change the settings.

Nice suggestions - agree it would be great to see them on an upcoming release.
