My door looks wrong, devs?

[Stephen777]

I went to place my door on a stone fence foundation, its facing the wrong way. I pound that Q button in hopes it changes it...just a simple swap directions. Is it a different key then Q or does it just not exist?

what do you mean with, its facing the wrong way?

the door should face the way its frame is build, for stone door it shouldnt make a difference since they pretty much look the same from both sides

for wood doors the plank side should be on the plank side of the frame and the log side on the log side of the frame.....

the frame should swap the direction its build in with the Q key, so doors build in it should also face the opposite direction

....

fence foundations have also a front direction... when you build a wall and use fence foundations, it can be that you accidently build the foundations alternating (as in, one foundation looks forward and the next one backwards)
if you did so, you cant line up the walls perfectly, but with Q you should still be able to make them look in the same direction, just with em sticking out by a wall width
if you want to avoid that, you have to demolish the wrong fence foundations and rebuild them

Door as in doorway or doorframe. You can see the wooden supports but they are facing the wrong way. Would be a simple fix if I could flip it

The key to flip objects you're placing is E.

That said, you actually really don't want to use it when you're building. When you flip walls/doorframes/etc, and then place them, they will be misaligned. This is eventually even more aggravating, especially if you're building large structures.

If you're playing single player, I ~strongly~ recommend this mod.

It doesn't add any extra engrams or exploited structures, it simply allows you to pick structures back up without the need to demolish them. This is extremely useful while still learning the intricacies of the building system, learning to wiggle the camera to just the right angle to make fences snap to the right places, walls to the right foundation, etc.
