Edit DAE files

Orbit around it on a floor grid; pick a part, move, turn and size it with handles or exact sizes, lay a face on the floor, mirror, recolour and change its finish, edit its texture in Images, add shapes, duplicate, hide and delete; repair and simplify meshes; check it will print (closed, its volume and weight).
