Re: Rotate Part

You can already do this:

You can also double-click on the part and do it that way too:

Re: Rotate Part

One rotation that you can't do, as far as I know, is to find the "lay flat" position when you have a part that does not have a face that marks the down-position. Typical example would be something organic that in its printing position rests on the table at three points. Cura has a function to find the resting angle, but in S3D you have to fiddle with the angles trying to get it right.

Re: Rotate Part

That's already in the program too (Edit > Place Surface on Bed)
