I rotate so much because I am using the function in a wrong way.
My problem is the following:
I build a tower of simple 2x2 bricks. After adding about 10 it becomes difficult to place the next brick because the zoom location of the model is the base of the tower. This means that the more bricks I add the smaller I need to make the model to be able to place any bricks.
I build a line of 1x8 bricks. After I place the third it becomes hard to place more bricks. I can't zoom in on the last brick, so I try to rotate the model, but the rotation point lies at the far end of the model and the line is difficult to manage.
So I end up taking all the pieces and moving them to a different location so the tower or line rotates around their centre rather than around one of the extremes. I must be doing something wrong...
