How to rotate building BEFORE placing it

[W4RP!G [CZ]]

Is this possible? the buildings are stupidly big and cant be destroyed by yourself often resulting into being unable to place one or more buildings if you dont plan ahead or start with smaller base area in campaign.

Yeah it doesnt make sense to do this, some maps dont give you much space to plant stuff. I am continuously disappointed with the overall development of this game. You know its bad when a friend knows a friend who develops the game, and your friend doesnt even play it cause its that bad lol

Totally agree, this should be seen as a bug and not a QoL feature. Its soooo annoying!

I have read in some long forgotten thread that previous COH games had this feature. So its bamboozling that CoH3 doesnt have it as well.. but then again, this game is missing a lot of stuff and is overall at early access level so one can only hope.

In the past as you're getting ready to place the building you first choose location and after clicking that I believe you can spin it the direction you want.

Last night as I tried to place a building it would spin and have yellow 'ok' base but would then snap to another position when I did 2nd click. Will pay closer attention when I play next time to see if that was an outlier or if it just doesn't work at all like it used to.

*TOP TIP* double click the building icon to auto build, helps with the main buildings, not emplacements

wich can also lead to issues where when you place your medical tent infront of your retreat building ( still dont know how you know where that exactly is) your units can get stuck on the medical tent as they try to retreat and potentialy also pile up there and actualy never heal up as they clump up in each other.

Pretty sure if you click and hold the mouse before placing, you can spin the building around to where you want it facing. Hope that helps.

Oh yeah this thing bugged me since beta and day one. Please let me rotate the stuff THEN move it around and see where the bunker/basebuilding fits. At the moment i have only been able to spin an object when placed.
Also the pivot point on bunkers are off, please center the pivot.
Relic pls fix.

just double tap the build button ('X', 'Z' etc) and it place sit for you. Don't waste time placing it yourself. Seconds lost on that can be the difference between winning and losing in some matches. It's all about efficient micro

you can spin only after placing, which you cant because game doesnt allow you to place it in the first place. hence OP
