    Hi- you can hold CTRL while rotating, and Unity will rotate in 15 degree increments (by default). That should help!

    Thanks! I was using the rotate snap, but had no idea it was 15 degrees!

    That leads me to a 2nd questions, when i rotate a whole face, it affects the height of my object, is there a way to prevent that?

    Hi! I see- yes, the face is rotating, so the height has to change. Just like if you hold a ruler straight up, it's 12inches (well, in the US :p ) tall, then as you rotate it, the "height" becomes less.

    This is where something like a "slice" tool would come in handy, for sure. Sorry we don't have that just yet!
