1) For example, while building an upside down house, it's difficult to do
this perfectly unless I have the ability to view it like I'm upside down.

2) Also, in regards to sprites, they don't turn upside down, so I can't
have the green outside lamp, trees, or flowers in my yard unless i piece
them together using rwx models. However, I'm sure I'll be able to work out
#2 with some imagination.

Build it the right way then use 3D axis rotate?

I can see the press release now ... "STOP THE PRESS ... New Inverted View
feature added to Activeworlds to enable people to build an upside down
house". Gonna write that one down ... Its a Classic! Thought about turning
your monitor on its head if its so difficult?

Built the foundation and some inside objects right side up, tried to select
all that I could, but I couldn't get the entire house highlighted, even
using Ctrl + Right click of the mouse. The majority of the house was
rotated in place perfectly; however, the pieces that didn't get picked up in
the selection the first time did not do the same kind of rotation/end up in
the exact same spot. It wouldn't be a big deal to fix if I could have
upside down view, but as it is right now, I have a few hours of work on my
hands to get it completed. : )

The upside down house can be seen at 85.08S 89.39E 0.21a 271 in A!!CT
World - under construction.

Why would you want to build an upside down house? Its not our fault if you
can't rotate object properly >:P Try turning your monitor upside down and
switching your arrow keys around.

Well u dont know how to do it right then, start by covering ur land (and 1
cell further around it) than u wish to rotate. The using ctrl + right click
select every single square of cover u just built. This will select every
cell, not just the 1's in the main cells. The invert it, delete the cover
objects, da da
