How to use detail plank

[babscot]

I have seen some people using detail planks flat against the wall, but I can only get them to stick out from the wall like a shelf. Is there something I am missing? How do you make them flat? Thank you

Finally figured it out. You hold R and move mouse to change angle, and use middle mouse scroll wheel to move it in and out from wall. Took a lot of playing around to figure it out.

Yeah they don't make it obvious that you have to hold r and rotate with mouse wheel at all. I had to search for the answer as well

The simple answer is hold r and z together while your stretching it and if you want to change the angle just move your mouse left or right.

Didn't realize or paid much notice that there was ' Mirror ' option until seeing a much earlier post about it,
fidget around to learn about it,
was extremely hard on my part, failed most times and only lucky shot couple.

reason :
Those who rebinds or did much changes with the keys, too used to early years
controls, might have problems performing the mirror action due to overlap keys.
(had used Z/X/C to use as hotkeys 1/2/3)

Only by resetting keys to default, it should work as intended.
Without any extra input on ' Z ', ' rotate ' and ' mirror ' bind.

I'll give this a try. Thanks
