Rotating Roofs | 旋转屋顶

A guide to ensure roofs are pointing the correct direction.

Brief Introduction

The Problem:

Often times when building you are met with frustration as the roof, which the game automatically generates, faces the wrong way. This can ruin the Feng Shui and/or aesthetics of your build.



Thus, I will defeat you in four strikes!, I'd like to share a four step process to mitigating this.

First Step

Construct a small square building and go to step 5, "Roof", to check the direction it generates.
No need to "Complete Design", just stay in building mode.

In the picture, you can see the roof is facing the red arrow direction:



Keep in mind the direction the roof faces when it generates.

Second Step

Now that you know which direction the roof will face, you can go back to step 1, "Foundation", and construct your building as you desire with the roof direction in mind.



Do not fret that it is in the wrong spot and such, as that will be solved in time.

Third Step

Now that you've completed your building, save it as a blueprint.

As depicted in the picture below, you:

1. Select "Save Blueprint" (not "Complete Design")
   
2. Click a slot, I like to use slot 5 as my "rotation fixer" slot.
   
3. It will give you a confirmation popup, select "Confirm".

Fourth Step

Now that you have a blueprint, follow the steps in the below:

1. Go back to step 1, "Foundation" (Or close build mode, go where you want to build, then open it.)
   
2. Select the "Blueprint" button in the lower right.
   
3. Select your chosen blueprint.
   
4. Rotate it with the "R" button as desired, then place it.

Voilà! The blueprint saved the correct roof orientation!

Finish

Now all that's left is to press "Complete Design" when you're ready.
