Note: If you apply Rotation on accident in Object Mode

If you accidentally forget that you applied the rotation to your object. There still May be an option move along a custom orientation tied to a face  that you choose.

I wish that I knew about custom orientations early on in my modeling journey. It is really helpful when working outside the global and local coordinates or when you are like me and make a mistake by applying a transform you probably shouldn’t have, haha.

    Yes. And if you set your Options to Transform >  Affect Only > Origins, you can set the orientation of the Object to that custom transformation:

    Very cool! I don't think that was possible before.
