I disagree. There are a number of pieces (just about all) that need to be
rotated one way or another to achieve the look you want. The design of xxxx
just takes into account the rotational axis as an aid in positioning the
part (using the a key). If it is a major pain for you to position this part
each time you want to use it you can always orient it how you want it lined
up with the arch frame 30044 and save them as a dat file to use when you
want too.
I'm not trying to be argumentative on this subject. When I authored the
part I was just following standard rules (rotating parts should be designed
around their rotational axes to make use of the a key regardless of how it
positions the part when it loads into ledit).
Now that I think about this issue a little more, I know that I can orient
the part to fit with the window frame, but it would still be offset from the
frame because one of the axes (x?) would still be through the rotational
axis of the part. However, when you press the a key the part would not
rotate around its rotational axis and you would need to rotate it using
ledit's turn function. I just can't see the benefit. Either way you would
still have to move the part to line up with the window frame, it's just that
one way allows you to use the a key in the standard tradition and the other
doesn't.
Thank you for you comments:)
I still think I should leave it the way it is though.
