Nifskope stuff again

Working on a vampire hunter mod, cloned a vampire to sleep from 5 AM to 9 PM and wander from 9 PM to 5 AM. After hours of googling I found a discussion on a method and successfully copied the furniture sleep marker from a bedroll to a coffin;

Set up a test cell and snuck in at 0530, there she is;

Two problems, reversed in the coffin, which I could probably change by rotating the base coffin object 180 degrees on the Z axis. Second problem is getting the bloodsvcker down inside the coffin - I'd rather not move the coffin up since that would require manually lowering it each time I place one, so I'm looking for a way to move the furniture position instead of the base object (coffin). Problem there is the position and orientation numbers are not even close to intuitive, I can't figure out what I'm looking at.

On second thought- turns out the height is no problem, double click the position numbers and change Z from 0 to -10 drops it down enough. Problem is orientation, change the base object and the markers move with it, change the rotation of the markers and the center of rotation is not on the sleep position so the whole smash would have to be realigned with the coffin. Whatever the Orientation number is, it ain't compass degrees and it ain't radians. One is 0, the other is 1570, trial and error numbers so far produce weird changes.
