Rotating Objects: NumPad & Mouse
Using the NumPad:
* 7,9 keys: 5 degree changes.
* 4,6 keys: 15 degree changes.
* 1,3 keys: 30 degree changes.
* 5 key: Face East.
Wondering why 'face East' might be useful? It's a good way to 'reset' the facing for objects, so that several objects can face the same way. Reset to East, then add say 40 degrees with the NumPad keys. If you're setting up fixed structures like buildings, this can be a real asset.
Using the mouse: You've got to be in 3D-view. Select the object to rotate and hit Enter. Hold down the mouse's scroll wheel and move the mouse left/right. The object will rotate through all angles. It's very useful.
