The more I work with hinge plates and bricks, the more it is annoying me that the center of the brick is used as the rotation center. Of course it is possible to move the selection center to the hinge center and then do the rotation, but this takes time and the next time the brick is selected, the rotation center is back at the brick center. If you don't use a custom selection center and try to align the hinge parts after rotation, they often snap to other nearby parts instead of their intended counterpart, making alignment impossible.
My proposal would be to allow the definition of a custom rotation center for each brick, using the existing shadow library and its editing tools. Any thoughts on this?
I also noticed that there are hotkeys for two of the three editing pin modes (M for moving and R for rotating) but not for the third, the move selection center mode. Maybe it might even be a good idea to give direct access to the selection center move, maybe using ALT + arrow keys.
