Re: Rotate plan plug-in
Alternative: •Install the Advanced Edit plugin. •In the Edit menu select "Select all at all levels" •Use the rotate function (same menu or in the toolbar)
It will rotate everything selected on all levels, including polylines (I'm not sure but I don't think a background image is included in the rotation since it's not a selectable item.)

Re: Rotate plan plug-in
Thanks Keet! All unviewable levels and furniture not flagged as visible are not selected, therefore not rotated. If I manually select all furniture from the list, I end with something completely broken.
I wish SH3D had taggable/alternative branches for levels. Sometimes I want to see different decoration paths, or to see the BEFORE/AFTER on the same project. That's why I heavily use the furniture visibility flag.
The Home Rotator (AKA Plan Rotator?) Plugin seems the best approach. I filed this bug report about the polyline issue.

Re: Rotate plan plug-in
Of course. The Advanced Edit plugin rotation, moving, etc. works on everything selected. If a level is unviewable the objects can't be selected and thus will not be included in the rotation. I'm not sure about the status of the Home Rotate plugin concerning the background image or rotating unviewable levels. I know the AE plugin rotates everything selected: walls, furniture, rooms, polylines, dimensions, etc.

Re: Rotate plan plug-in
For my personal use I've updated the plugin with the polylines rotation. It was not a big deal. I still have a problem with the background image rotation, but I will (probably) fix it.
or to see the BEFORE/AFTER on the same project.
To toggle from visible to invisible multiple items I use multiple levels at same elevation with different furniture in it and toggle the level visibility. Only to see the home from different positions you don't need to rotate the hole home. Move the visitor and store the point of view. If you need a specific orientation of building you don't need to rotate the hole home. Rotate only the compass to indicate the correct orientation. @Keet How this plugin works on your side? I'm interested about background image.

I don't use the Rotate Plan plugin. I rarely need to rotate the whole plan and when I do I use the method I described using the Advanced Edit plugin. Since I also don't use background images that works perfectly fine for me.

Re: Rotate plan plug-in
@Michel MBEM I'm very sorry for this but again I've don't ask You for permission.
It is not really my job but I've made some modifications to this plugin. You could find it on Source Forge as RotateHome-1.3 I've try to update this plugin and I've added: - support for polylines - support for multiple levels - some corrections for rotated items Be carefully: it is full of bugs, so use it with care!
