How to Rotate w/ out using Z

[HeatherG]

trying to rotate a station. Z is the only way I know how to. that works 1 out of 10 times. AND where can I find basic onfo like this without having to ask. Otherwise, I have a feeling, I will be a permanent residence on this forum

THANKS!

You can hit 'X' for the advanced placement gizmo (on just about everything). Hit 'X' once to bring up the placement arrows that you can drag, and hit it again to toggle to rotation.

This might help...

On the top left of the screen there is a help info box where all controls are listed depending on what mode you are in (building/looking)

to rotate building pieces its Shift Z not Z. for stations nothing will rotate it. X does nothing. nothing will work. All this frustration over trying to rotate without a button to do it.

edit...u have to press the X button for several seconds. instructions dont say that.

thx..
its Shift Z to rotate not Z...in case anyone else has the same problem. X or Shift X does nothing. How can they NOT make a little rotate button. Not everything is rotated 90 degrees

No, hold Z for lower than 90 degrees rotation depending on the angle snap selected.

And it shouldn't take a few seconds, then it is because the game is lagging.
In another thread you already commented the game comes to a crawl.
Post your dxdiag there so we can investigate the issue.
