      I'm having difficulty in aligning a hexagonal pyramid. Simply put, I don't know how to rotate it perfectly any way I want. I searched on youtube but for aligning objects, I'm getting tutorials for cuboidal forms.

      Can anyone suggest me a video tutorial for aligning other geometrical forms easily?

        You could draw some lines on whatever axis you require inside your pyramid group, then put those guidelines on a layer so they can be hidden after you complete your rotations.

        This gif seems a bit shaky for some reason, sorry.

          You can also try the Align tool by Didier Bur Where 6 clics are sufficient
          for align any volumes on any things! πŸ˜„

            I draw a line and use perpendicular face plugin to give a surface to rotate from.

              maybe if you are on sketchup 2015 you may also draw a rotated rectangle and then draw the exagon on face of it..
