How to Rotate Elements

Hey there!

I'm trying to make a crate. I just did 1 of the 6 faces, planning on copying and pasting for the other 5. I have the face done, I'm happy with it, I converted the voxels to elements and now I'm stuck. Whenever I copy and paste the elements, I can only rotate them 45 degrees, not allowing me to actually build the cube that the crate needs to be. If I save as an OBJ and import as a mesh, then turn that mesh into voxels, I lose a lot of the details that I put on there, essentially meaning I'd have to make the whole thing by hand :/ I'm sure there's a very simple way to rotate CERTAIN elements 90 degrees (rather than everything in the viewport) via the Edit button or gizmo that I'm missing. Any helps is appreciated!

Below I've attached the 1 face I want to use for all faces, and my attempts at trying to copy/paste the elements. Thanks!

Using 'rotate model' under the 'edit' menu will not rotate elements that are locked, you just need to lock elements you don't want to rotate first.

You can also select the elements to rotate and then go in Elements list > Transform > Rotate +90°

How do I rotate objects only 45 degrees? I'm new.

In the newer studio version I found that the new key to rotate objects is holding the number 1 while you have the object selected
