Lattice help please

[mark77]

I have a number of blend shapes, And I need to make the left eye squint. I have a high res model and need to use a lattice. What I tried was to select the vertices I want to deform, then selected Lattice. The lattice appears and deforms the mesh, but my character has a diagonal shaped eye, and what I need is to rotate the lattice to about a 30 degree angle in order to get the lattice points lined up with the brow before the lattice deforms it.
How can I position the lattice correctly before it activates? I only need to rotate and position it, nothing more.
Any Help would be great.

When you create the lattice turn on the group with base (something like that) on - then rotate the lattice group NOT the lattice shape - this rotates the lattice plus its' base lattice in relation to the eye, then just pull points as usual .

p.s. you may also want to scale up the lattice group as once it's rotated obviously some of your cv's will not be inside the lattice any more.
