So I'm going to select this mesh and you can see the triad shows up here. So I can start rotating that if I want, I can drag it out in any direction, I can use the X, Y, Z coordinate system to move it around, just like I would using move copy body feature, I can rotate it, again, in any direction that we want to rotate it in.
