Axis Changed... but not doing anything. Help

[PineJ]

Pressing Ctrl prompts the game to say the axis rotation has changed, but I can't find any difference. Nothing I'm doing is causing the workshop items to rotate any differently. Please help. I just want to place a floor at an angle.

That function is only for loose objects in the game world, not for building objects unfortunately.
There's a mod called 'Place Everywhere' that does that though, among other things.

it works only on items you picked up with holding the use key (E by default)
not in workshop mode

and you press (NOT HOLD) Shift by default to change the rotation axis

yes while held with E, tapping shift moves rotation axis through x y and z.

because nowhere ingame it says how to do it

yea when someone new jumps into the game or someone that dosent use steam forums
there is no way of knowing

there should be a sticky thread here or a guide that explains in depth every single "hidden" game feature like this one for example

+ a full tutorial about every single item in Fo4 workshop
like the logical gates thing

Then why does it say the axis has changed in workshop mode when it hasn't, but doesn't say anything when just picking stuff up normally?

bug most likely
among other thousands of bugs this game has
some of which are not yet discovered

So you are using Place Everywhere?
The item you want to move must only be highlighted, not selected.

And sorry I confused myself. The key to change rotation axis of loose objects is actually left shift, and no message pops up.
