hi,
i was wondering if i can rotate in the y-z plane?
the utilities > move > rotation allows me to rotate in the x-y, but i see no option to change to another plane.
kind regards.

Re: rotation in y-z plane
Do you want
1) change the view to the YZ plane
use menu: View->Rotate
(or in the toolbar the 'List of views' icon offer also other views)
2) or do you want to modify the coordinates of the model rotating it?
The Utilities->Move... Rotation tool
has a checkbox 'Two dimensions' to simplify the use in 2D in the plane XY, defining the rotation angle and a single point for the rotation center (a point in the XY plane)
If you unset this checkbox can do an arbitrary rotation in 3D, specifying 2 points on the rotation axis and the rotation angle.
To rotate in the YZ plane you mean a rotation axis parallel to X
for example, if you want a rotation axis passing by the (0,0,0) origin can define the axis points as
"0 0 0" and "1 0 0"
