How to rotate items you picked up with E ?

[Tchortiderritta]

How do i rotate item i'm holding before me with E key ? I want to place it precisely.

Rotating the furniture is simply done by right click and left click while holding the object.

Thanks, but it's not exactly the furniture. I need to rotate and carefully place arbitrary item i picked from the ground, like cofee mug or beer bottle.

I don't think there is a option to do that, you can try picking the item up in settlement mode where you should be able to rotate it like Dseaver said but this only lets you rotate left and right.

Not really possible unless youre in build-mode. Also, items only rotate horizontally, not vertically.

You can but not so perfect! Hold e and use mouse.

For arbitrary and junk item you can sadly it will clip to the ground and sometimes it will fall.

What Spawk said. I spent hours designing and decorating a Bar, with lamps, pictureframes, beer bottles, glass, cigarette packs ashtrays etc. only to log in the next day and find most of the stuff on the floor or missing. So dont bother.

Oh, what a bummer. And i kinda can rotate it by moving against some other obstacle... But it's so unnatural and annoying to do.

Okay, thanks everyone. Another issue for modders to solve, it seems.

I keep thinking one of these days they'll support this sort of thing in the base game. Didn't have it in Fallout 3. Missing in Skyrim. Nowhere to be seen in FO4. I'm not sure which will come first. They manage to add support for it, I give up waiting for them to do it, or I die of old age.

They're not going to add support for it, because then people would be even more angry about items not staying in place.

Well, I was sort of hoping they'd fix that too. :) Maybe I'll give that up in another ten years or so.

Put said object on the ground, then open your build menu and pick it up. Then you can rotate it just like anything else in the build menu. I collect Nuka Cola Quantums and put them up on a shelf for display, this little trick makes the process very friendly.

There may be a mod that would allow that. Check Nexus Mods.

here's your fix
Force Object Rotation via Console Command
Force Object Position via Console Command

i don't know, i can rotate objects i dropped with LMB/RMB. maybe it's one of the mods i have, maybe it was patched in
