Rotate Conceptual Mass Face

In a Conceptual Mass, isn’t there a way to rotate the face shown by the green “X” below onto the position by the red lines? I  know I can drag it out with the arrows (not shown), but I need it be at a specific angle.

I figured this one out too. You go to the elevation view perpendicular to the face you want to rotate, select it, then rotate it. (Still learning things)

Isn't this rotating also the top face?

You could simply move that top edge out.

 

Something similar to what I replied to you in this other thread:

Alfredo - Yes, it is the same thing. I just wanted to know how to rotate that face out at a specific angle, not just by length by moving the edge. I think I understand it now. Also, thank you for reminding me of the earlier thread!

Lucian - Yes, you are correct. I was kind of hoping you could stretch the corner as you could in SketchUp and the top would stay level. Oh well....

Hi PhilvK,

 

If you still want to give as input an angle you can add some parameter to control how much the top edge will be shifted.

 

Please check the video below.
