Rotate faces around edge

[fourmillier]

Hi, i'm modelling sheets of paper in poly, and i'd like to fold them without stretching faces. The solution is to split the rectangular sheet, and to rotate the newly created faces around a selected edge. How can i do that ?

For a good example, it is like the "wedge faces" tool in maya, but without extruding the face or faces concerned !

thanks for your replies

you can translate the origin of the faces.

insert, then translate the rotation origin to the proper spot. >insert .

thern rotate around the new axis.

That could take forever. You might consider binding the initial sheet to a skeletal grid and deforming it into shape.

Thanks Sparky and Mlattis
In the first case (sparky), I cannot rotate my selected faces correctly, because I had to position my rotate center in the vue plane approximatively, and it's not very accurate.
In the second case (mlattis), I thought to that system, but I have undreds of sheets to fold, and I need to do that quickly and easily.

I'd like to choose the edge to rotate my faces, become an axis. It's not the case when I move my selection pivot point, even if I snap it to the edge... Axes are not matching with the direction of the rotation edge, don't mind if its X or Y or Z, I need only one to rotate my selection....

The better example is the wedge tool in "edit polygons > wedge faces". Here you choose the edge like a vector that determine a rotation axe.
I think a little script will do that easily, but I don't know how to do.

What the hell do you guys think scripting is for? di a script that accepts a edge and faces as selection then let the scrpt allign the rotation axes of a cluster to the edge and assign the paces to the edge and rotate the cluster and continue forward to nextselection.
