Completely different. The rotate feature generates a model out of bricks by rotating an outline. For example, give it a semicircle, and it will generate plans for a sphere made out of bricks.

No doubts, MLCAD is the best LCAD modeller. However, I use it since version 1.7 and I am still disturbed by display in perspective view.
