Missing Icon to rotate a fitting in counterclockwise direction

Missing Icon to rotate a fitting in counterclockwise direction

Hello Revit Community,
I would like to share a few ideas for improving the basic operating in Revit. I will present them in this and next posts.

Missing Icon to rotate a fitting in counterclockwise direction:
When selecting a fitting there appears a blue icon to rotate this object but only in one direction (clockwise). What's more this icon changes its position so the user cannot quickly click the second time but he has to move the mouse cursor to the new position to click what makes the work slower.

It would make a work faster when there were two icons clockwise and counterclockwise so that the user could pick the disered direction.  
A small request to Autodesk for improving this process.

Funny, I though there were 2 symbols in oposite corners... maybe it's only in 3D for the 2 rotations? Though I though not because they are usualy connected so the other rotation in blocked... The 2 symbols are for the 2 directions like you ask, though it's still very hard to use in practice, just like you point out. I have the explation with more words here: Symbol to rotate fittings hard to spot - Autodesk Community

Too add onto this maybe also allow the space bar to rotate the component, to remove the process of having to click the button in the first place.
