Alright, I've been trying and trying to fight with this thing, and I'm giving up. I was trying to design a building with slanted windows, leaning 15 degrees out from the floor. This is all well and good until I get to parts where the floor becomes a 45 degree angle, and getting it to be 15 degrees x or y and 45 degrees z is impossible. Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can get these right? Doing a world rotation usually messes everything up, and I can't figure out what to fix because by the time it's done, nothing is a clean rotation.

Set the ruler mode to World. Turn on Use Grid. Grab your object that was rotated 15 degrees on X or Y, and snap it to the 45 mark on the rotational ruler (or maybe we should call it a protractor).

You can temporarily rotate the floor section back to 0-degrees, then line up the window section to it. Next, link the window section to the floor section, then, rotate the floor section back to 45-degrees.

From: Dytska Vieria You can temporarily rotate the floor section back to 0-degrees, then line up the window section to it. Next, link the window section to the floor section, then, rotate the floor section back to 45-degrees. I don't know why I didn't think of this; I'd used it repeatedly on other projects. x.x Thanks for the reminder. First time I tried the world grid rotation, it was wonky, but when I did it again, it came out with the same as the above's results. |

Or rez a brand new cube prim, which by default is zeroed on it's rotation. Temporarily link that as root to the prim you're trying to rotate. Unlink when done and discard the temporary root prim.
