one step forward two steps back

Hi
Ive managed by circuitous means to import a dxf model from SU thru to .off and into GS. I can even start the model (a unit cube) in full screen , grounded? and vert edge on in ortho view. I can show the axes of symmetry correctly
BUT the slightest job with my mouse and my orientation is lost and I canot return to base view, other than reloading. Ctrl Z dumps the model and reverts to default icosa model
I managed to add my cube into a dodecahedron with mixed success see pic
I feel like Im standing on the sea shore and I toss a geosolid into the ocean and thats the end of the connection. My xyz world doesnt seem relevant to ocean space nor recognised
I have managed to export my compound model back into SU via dxf, but getting it oriented accurately back to origin x,y,z is a pig
I can see my getting stuck here, other than creating simple geo solids that would be v difficult constructing in 3D CAD approximation
How do you make 3mm thick tiles for a church steeple shape (folded paper is easy) - think of those crazy mitres OMG
