Or is there a way to save it on the flat, then tilting the whole thing 45° without getting into too much script?

I'm trying to model this solar collector, angled at 45°.
I built it on the flat, going to 3D to click on view from top, and then adjusting the angle in the 3D window so it'd be saved at 45°. But of course that knocked it out of "top view". Is there a way to save it at an angle?

The rotated object will display with hotspots in 2D and 3D for easy snapping. and you can also use OBJECTiVEs Split tool if you want to cut portions off.

If you don't have ArchiRotate and want to create your object withoutanyscript you can do a double save:
First save your model looking at it from the side and then place the resulting object on its edge in the plan view and save it again from the desired angle.
