As of FreeCAD 2016, working with STL files is a sonnuvabitch. Rotating the position of an STL is tricky. Only one rotation type is allowed, or a single angle rotations around multiple axes. To do multiple rotations around multiple axes, one needs to Export the STL. Exporting resets the rotational orientation, so that another rotation can be performed.

As of FreeCAD 2016, working with STL files is a sonnuvabitch. Rotating the position of an STL is tricky. Only one rotation type is allowed, or a single angle rotations around multiple axes. To do multiple rotations around multiple axes, one needs to Export the STL. Exporting resets the rotational orientation, so that another rotation can be performed.
