Hi.
I can’t seem to find the black axis to rotate about.
In my attached model, I want to Rotate Flap up around the dotted line.
I appreciate your time and consideration.
Thank you.

The trick is to hold down (drag) your left mouse button when placing the protractor.
You can check this too (your case is around 3:00 )
(Edit: Sure Box is faster 
)

Hi Box,
I appreciate your time and effort.
Ya, except for the magic part where your Rotate tool goes from red to black.
Mine stays red.
Are you using some kind of control key?
Try holding the left mouse button while you drag along the line you want as the axis of rotation.

Hi dezmo,
I appreciate your time and effort.
That was it, thanks.
I’ve been using Sketchup for years and am still impressed with the things I’m able to create.
However, I feel like I just asked the world’s dumbest Sketchup question.
Thank you.

Hi DaveR,
I appreciate your time and effort.
That was exactly what I needed.
Thank you.
I have always operated on the principle that there is no such thing as a dumb or stupid question. If you don’t understand something, you can be fairly sure that other people are in the same position, and can benefit from the answer.
