Moving Platforms / Animatronics QOL quick fix

[blobalbob]

I'm really liking the 3 moving platform elements and thanks for adding these as they offer so much for building great scenery. BUT please can you implement a quick QOL to be able to fix existing strcutures / blueprints to them. Unless I'm missing something I need to build the structure on the platform piece from scratch. I built a great element yesterday that took about 3 hours as it was so intricate and then when to attach it to a platform and theres no option to do this so I'll have to spend another 3 hours building it again. Yes, I know now but this could be a very simple fix and allow blueprints to be attached to platforms?

You have to take the building, enter edit building, select all, activate option on the right side saying (add to building), then hover all selected pieces over the platform and it will appear to add them to it. If not you may have to press shift once so that the objects attach to what the mouse hovers over. Hope that helps

Thanks danny420. I'll try this tonight. If it works that's great but dang why did they make this so complicated? We should be able to click the platform, click attach scenery and then select a building or blueprint. Seems it was designed to be counter intuitive

Ok have tried and this does work, thanks danny420. There's still some painful manipulation required, especially if doing multiple pieces as the move axes have a mind of their own but at least you can pre make and add to a platform. Thanks
