Rotate portion of a floor plan

[djhplanning]

Am I completely missing something, or how do you go about rotating a portion of a floor plan around a specific point?  I currently have a floor plan with a potion extending at a 45 degree.  I want to rotate that 45 degree portion to 90 degrees instead.  After selecting everything that I want to rotate, I've found a tool called 'rotate/resize about current point' but don't seam to get this tool to do anything at all.  I've also tried using 'transform/replicate object' tool but rotate is not an option here as it is grayed out and I can't select it.  HELP!

This is not a tool as such, it is a setting.

ie, you can rotate objects about the current point, object centre or absolute point.

So, if you want to rotate around a point, you have to place a point first, and then rotate.

I would start with a polyline around the area to rotate (at the 45 degree angle).  Then use edit area as Eric described.  that way you can rotate just the angled portion.

Thanks for the help.  I went with the... 

Edit Area to select what you want to rotate.

 

Drag the selection away.

 

Use the Rotate Handle to rotate.

 

Point-to-Point to move.

 

...that Eric suggested.
