Re: rotation options
I'm still against an option to rotate around X or Y axis, because it would require to update width/depth/height accordingly and probably adapt elevation to keep it always positive. I fear many users in the target audience wouldn't understand what's going on, and anyway there's still the (not so practical, I agree) workaround to export to OBJ/import again to play with rotation at the second step of the Furniture import wizard.

I have sloping walls and would like to put crown molding on them.
I would do it in two steps:
- import a profile, stretch it to the length of the top of the sloping wall (need trigonometric formulas ? wink)
- export the profile to OBJ/import it and orientate it at the second step of the Furniture import wizard to the angle of the wall top.

Of course, with a X/Y rotation option in the furniture modification dialog box, the second step would be simpler. Nevertheless, note that in version 4.0, the new option to export only selected items to OBJ format should avoid you to create dummy projects dedicated for exportation.
