Way to change the angles of the Copy paste blueprint?
I remember the old versions it was alot more flid when rotating the blueprint, but now its just hard flips and i cant get the ship straight so it just crashes into the ground. Any way to go back to the more fluid way of rotating blueprints?

(I can't remember how many modes there are, i think just two but I'm unsure, but this will allow you to go from strict 90 degree rotations to smooth)

Edit: just checked in game there is 3 modes: gravity-align (stuck to 90), local-grid align (stuck to 90 if their is a grid nearby), and free placement (free smooth rotation)

Hi, yes the "B" key will "Lock/unlock" from the bounding box for free pasting or be aligned with other close grids.

I like to place a Cube into the soil at the right angle (the needed angle) before pasting a Blueprint so I can aim at that cube to align my Bp with it and that helps me a lot on doing a perfect paste.

Edit
Aim a the previously added cube with the Bp in hand = :selike:
