I have meshes imported, but need to mirror and combine. Problem is, the rotation axis is at a weird angle and impossible to align the mirrored mesh. Any way to reset the move/rotate tool?

Hmm wonder if it’s possible to create a construction axis on the mesh. Haven’t work with meshes. Have you tried that?

You can give the Center pint of the move tool a slight sliding tap and it realigns.

You can, but this only allows rotate around axis.

Tried that, but not really changing to anything helpful.
