I’ve started using these techniques to help align important elements such as
hinges with the origin of the sub-model. Once that’s done, rotating the
sub-model in a parent model causes it to pivot nicely around the hinge (I’m
curious if this is what the “Focus spin around selection” note refers to in
the feature requests). This makes it easier to almost “play” with movable
parts like wings, doors, and joints right in LDraw, as there’s no need to
nudge things to get them to line up again after rotation.

Ah! I see James Reynolds has already written an excellent article on this topic:
Animatable
Models. Recommended reading for more details on this approach to LDraw
modeling.
