I'm not critizing the part authors. Not at all. Sorry if my english could be
misunderstood. I'm grateful for the parts as anyone else.
As I wrote: I was just guessing. I have never made a part ... yet :-) I was
just pointing out, that from my point off view, rotating parts should have
0,0,0 at a logical point.
