Is there any way to rotate the bottoms of the two objects toward each other and at the same number of degrees,

as shown in the attached photo? These objects are symetrical about the x axis.

If you move one of the objects to a separate layer, you will be able to rotate them separately using the transform tool and rotate X axis.    You can go -X degrees for one and positive x degrees for the other.  I think that is the easiest way.

 

 

If you don't want to move objects to a separate layer you can rotate the individual objects using the pose command.  Here's how:

1.  choose pose tool.

2.  in tool options set transpose mode to "Select Object"

3.  Click on the object you want to move.  The whole object should show as selected and you should see the gizmo.

4.  Click the "to X" button to position the gizmo correctly to rotate on the X

5.  Make sure the gizmo mode is set to the proper one to rotate things.  (you don't want to see a diamond or cube on the gizmo)

6.  When you are in the right mode, the tool options for the tool will have a box for entering Rotation.

7.  Type in the rotation value.  Since the whole object is sected, it should rotate the specified number of degrees along the X axis.
