Is there a way to level a blueprint?

[BenieTheDragon]

When pasting in a blueprint in space, is there a way to level out the blueprint? Station Rotation mode won't do what I want (infact it doesn't do anything when in space).

I'm not exactly sure what you are asking. It is possible to rotate a blueprint on all 3 axes. You may have to press "B" to activate station rotation mode.

As far as "leveling" it is concerned, if you create a platform "new station" and to not rotate the first block then that platform should be aligned to grid the way stations were prior to "station rotation."

You should be able to create a temporary platform and use it to "level" the blueprint you are pasting. Then remove the temporary platform.

you need to press B to enable rotation mode.

you can also snap a pasted grid onto the face of an exsisting grid to get the right oreintation.

I tried using Station Rotation on a new station block, but it seemed the block was facing the same way as my blueprint.
Also, I tried hitting B after selecting a blueprint and using CTRL + V to show it. B does nothing. I mashed the key and it does nothing.

1, Select blueprint anddouble click
2, show the ghost of it with Ctrl V
3, Now use normal rotation buttons to rotate the ghost
If it wont spin hit b ONCE then normal rotation buttons will work ( there is no visual
indication you made a change, jus a lil bleep you may misss if music on or volume low)
4, click to spawn it

Mashing keys is never a good idea uness you playing street fighter on a mega drive haha :)
