Is there a way to reset the rotation values of an object in SketchUp Free?

Use the Rotate tool to rotate the object back to its starting position.

FWIW, if you were using SketchUp for Desktop there’s at least one extension that can reset rotations and other transformations but with the web version it’s a manual thing.
