How do I rotate items I want to place on the ground?

[Taras]

I think this is in the basic instructions and I'm not sure why I feel I am having this issue but I chose an area to start my base on Planet Humble and I am going to start with laying down foundations but when I start to place a foundation I feel like I can't rotate this object I want to place in the position I want it before laying it down?

R or T for left or right turn

mouse wheel

I'm having similar issues. I try to place iron grids or buildings and I can't get them straight. No matter how much I use the mouse wheel or the R and T keys. It's frustrating not to be able to orient things the way I want them. If the buildings turn, it's only one click and often at a weird angle. The grids won't rotate at all.

Yeah, I felt that posting this question at first seemed ridiculous.

I have tried to use the mouse wheel to no real effect. Yes, I think this is the same issue I am having. I am trying to just make the foundational pieces to begin building my base straight or in the position I want them in and the foundational sections always seem to want to go their own way and just stay in that position before I set that piece regardless if I like that default position or not.

Some foundations I find like the moduls that are round and square steel frames dont rotate well they do but its not visible.
The half rounded module and rectangle steel frames do. And its noticable.
Mouse wheel turns them

I'd really like to be able to turn things vertically. Or on the uuuuuhh Y axis. There's a lot of slopes in the game, and something like the vehicle station is just jutting out like mad.

Ya you can't rotate structure foundations very well, this is limiting and i feel your pain.

You can rotate placeables like boxs, crafting stations, etc. just not most of the buildable structure pieces.

I am wondering if this is something the devs are working on or not? Rotation works with storage, crafters, some production pieces etc, but not being able to rotate a grid so you can build on it is kind of basic. The grids in my game seem to be frozen in a diagonal position with no ability to rotate. You can't adjust what you're building to accommodate the terrain. And the major domes, labs, living modules and such have like 2 positions and that's it.
