ins, and del to change axis, home and end to rotate on selected axis.

Hi,

Yeh, I was talking specifically about the hover thruster, it won't let me rotate it for some reason. Other blocks seem to rotate fine.

If you read the tool description it explains it will only rotate 1X1 blocks. Can't think of any thrusters that are 1X1.

Hover thruster blocks are set and cannot be rotated bc of their function.

'Hover thurster' don't you mean Hover booster ?

[HopelessAndLost]

or T2 multi-tool can be used to remove the block, intact so you can just put it back where you want it.

if its already placed, use multi tool 2 get ride of it, if u get it back, or make another and high light it in the toolbar....insert and delete 2 face it the right way...home,end 2 rotate it...then place it

Thanks, it that case how do I set the direction of the hover thruster? I'm trying to add one in each direction but currently they are all pointing to the bottom.

Thanks

Hover engines & Hover Boosters can't be rotated to face other directions just down.

Thruster blocks can be rotated to any direction. you dont need downward or upward facing thrusters on HV's fyi.

This may help you
