(...) Admittedly, I have oft wished for the ability to create custom rotation buttons so I could make X,Y,Z buttons for 11.25,15,22.5,27.125,30 and 45 degree rotations to accomodate the rotation angles of various technic parts...

(...) Yes, submodels are also a great way to go. The trick is getting them added with the proper orientation with respect to the pin/axle to which you are attaching. This is the same with groups. Kevin (19 years ago, 7-Jun-05, to lugnet.cad)

I personally use Submodels a lot for rotated sections. If you place the rotation pin/point at origo in the submodel, you can leave the rotation point at "parts origin" when you insert it in the level above. If there's something at an odd angle in (...) (19 years ago, 7-Jun-05, to lugnet.cad)
