That worked perfectly, thank you for your help....

Thank you for your help. So just to clarify, it would be better NOT to bring it in as a reference mesh but merge it into the voxel workspace as a surface and then going into the retopo room to trace over it with polys?

I have a scanned object that I wish to retopologise. The object has been scanned at a 45 degree angle to the table to capture some of the underside. I want to bring the object into 3d coat as a reference mesh to manually retopologise it. Is there a way I can manipulate and rotate the reference mesh once inside 3d coat to align it flat to the grid - i.e. rotate it minus 45 degrees? This is important so I can switch on symmetry and only model one half. The reference mesh seems to be completely unacessible once in 3d coat except to show and hide it. Thanks for any suggestions.
