Reblock with Rotation

To change the rotation of an existing block model, select the Modelling | Block Model Tools | Reblock with Rotation menu option. A block model can be rotated so that it is aligned with the strike of an orebody, for example.

You can explicitly set the extents and the rotation of the model, or set the rotation based upon the rotation of another block model.
