Rotating parts?

How do you rotate the parts about a single axis like he did? I know you can flip them 90 degrees across X,Y, AND Z (how fancy)...but I do not know how to do the incremental rotation.

As always, I will love you till the end of time (or maybe the next 5 minutes) if you can provide an answer for me.

Hold shift while rotating the parts

Hold down the ship key while rotating. It will move in small increments.

In the stock game the WASDQE keys rotate the part about axes aligned with the building. The keys on their own rotate by 90 degrees at a time and using shift rotates by 5 degrees. If this is still too coarse then you will need to install Part Angle Display which (among other things) allows much finer rotation (down to 0.01 degrees) and allows rotation about axes aligned with the current orientation of the part.

Thank you for that tip! I will definitely check out the mod!

And thank you worir4 and Streetwind
