The Rotate (Q) tool spins geometry based on an angle you specify. No surprises there. But the Rotate (Q) tool also has a trick up its sleeve that most new modelers don’t discover until hours after they could’ve used it. First things first, though:

 It’s better to preselect. As with the Move tool, rotating something you’ve already selected is usually easier.

 The Rotate(Q) tool can make copies, too. Press the Ctrl key (Mac: Option) to switch between rotating your original and rotating a copy. You can also make several copies arranged in a circle or along an arc. Check out the earlier section “Making copies with the Move tool” to read about using x and / to create multiples.

 You can be precise. The Measurements box enables you to type exact angles while you’re rotating. Take a look at “Injecting accuracy into your model” earlier in this chapter to find out more.
