Rotating Teleporters

So I'm attempting to rotate a teleporter so that it correctly faces the hallway it's supposed to be at the end of. The issue is that there is no ability to rotate this since it isn't a detail while in 3D mode. How am I supposed to rotate this thing when it doesn't seem to correlate with the image on the 2D map in any logical way? And I can't actually rotate it while looking at it? Am I really expected to log into 3D, check its rotation, log out and rotate, log in to check, etc. rinse and repeat until it's correct?

    It is painfully stupid that Cryptic:

    a) Expected people to figure this out considering how counter intuitive this is.
    b) Not giving the option to manually move/rotate in 3D.

    Thanks Dusk.

    Pretty sure they this is a bug and they didn't expect us to convert degrees to radians... I'm sure the intent was for the box to accept values in degrees as it is labeled.

    It's a very understandable bug, too. All the computational math would be done in radians (sin, cos, etc takes radians in any commonly used programming language; conversions to quaternions or rotational matrices would also use radians). Just multiply by pi, divide by 180 (close to /57.3 or *0.01745).
