I just forgot

4.

Is there a possiblility to rotate a part around an edge?

Imagine a two-motor plane. Main landing gear in engine-nacelles.
If I want to modell open gear doors:
- Build closed engine-nacell.
- Cut out the doors (so they match the nacelle-shape)
- Rotate then by x degree.

Rotation seems to be always around the centre-point of the object.
So in my example the gear doors won't fit anymore, and have to be moved to their old place.
It even gets worse, when the axis I need to rotate around is not exactly 90° to an axis, but x degrees to every axis (x,y,z)

Would be realy helpfull, to select two vertices. And choose: rotate part around selected axis by x degree
