> ## Aligning Part Facings

> Instead of manually rotating parts, you can select a triangle on the part and have the system align the part until that triangle faces a desired direction: up, down, the X-Z plane, or the Y-Z plane.

> First, select a triangle (see Triangle Pointer). The align facing buttons become enabled. Click a button to rotate the part until the selected triangle faces the selected direction.

> You can select triangles on several parts before clicking an align facing button, to align all the parts at once.
