Gotcha.

Sure, but there are several non-hinged pieces that do have an axis of
rotation (or pivoting, anyway), the ones coming to mind are:
2904.DAT Technic Motorcycle Pivot
2342.DAT Space Control Panel (needs work)
Also, tons of pieces, such as the Technic bricks, have slightly more obvious
axes of rotation. But I'm not so much worried about these.
