Rotating millwork and other library objects in 3D
Can we PLEEEEEEESE have a way to rotate symbols in 3D?
Here I have a corbel that I would like to rotate to match the pitch of the roof over a gable.
Seems like a simple operation...why can't we do this? I know I can always make a special symbol to do this...but I would have to make new ones for every pitch angle.

There is a way to do this using a 3D symbol molding.
See this article to make the molding:

Apply the new molding to the frieze or draw it in manualy.Dan Park,

The request to rotate symbols is a good one and is in our database. I just thought you might like to use a little easier method.

How about this use:
Brick with Mortar
I think this one is worthy of it's own thread. I'll work on it.Allen Brown
