Are you saying that the LEGO on the stud is rotated 45 degrees from how you
would expect it to be aligned? Or are you saying something else.
if the former, I agree with Don, I'd have the default orientation the one that
people are most likely to want when they place the part... if someone wants to
model the logos rotated 45 degrees in POV, that's fine, some special casing may
need to be devised but I don't see it as high priority.
If that's not what you mean could you try explaining again, I didn't get what
you mean. Thanks!
