Changing the angle a projectile enters a body

  I am wanting to change the angle at which my projectile enters the block. They currently sit on the same plane (as seen below) . I would like to change it so my projectile is entering the block at 5 degrees or 10 degrees on the x-axis so I can evaluate the difference as the angle at the moment is 0 degrees (or 180 depending on how you look at it). Many thanks.

  Hi James,
  Do you want to change the angle of the bullet to around 5 to 10 degrees at that plane from the X-axis? Have you tried to use the rotate option in the design modeler?
  
  Please use this and let me know.

  Hi Sampat,
  I have tried to however the bullet wont rotate on its current position, it ends up moving from its original place.
  Thanks,
  James

  Hi James,
  I am able to rotate the same bullet as you have the model. Is the bullet attached to the plane? is the bullet and plane is a single body?
  please let me know if you are to do it or not.

  Hi James,
  I think you can play with the rotation axis that you select for the rotation. it's very important to select the proper rotation axis. There is an easy method to do this in SpaceClaim. Are you comfortable doing it in the spaceclaim?
