Agreed, there are many pieces that would be VERY usefull if you could rotatethem, like the half wall height so it can go sideways and the triangle and curve wall pieces would be very usefull rotated as well.
New ways to use walls and roofs as walls and roofs.......

I can still do it becuase I havent updated the game (always playing offline). They will have to take this feature from my old dead hands, because I really cant live without it anymore.
With it, when we can paint walls of the color we want and we have a few smaller walls and roofs, I can basically build anything I want without Frontier having to make a million different pieces or even mods. I can create my own structures like if it was a 3d program, thats how impressive this "bug" was.
The 2.2 update was actually a regression for all creative builders playing the game, the most annoying part is the no answer they gave in the patch notes (its basically not there intended vision of how to play the game). If they gave me a real answer (for example, it could create bugs in the future, but we know how much you liked it and we are trying to implement it well in the game as a real feature), I would just update and wait. Like when the sound department explained super well why maybe we couldnt have our own music in the game. Is something I would like to have a lot, but they said how the new sound system could create problems and that they are trying their best to find a solution. That was an excellent answer, as much as I know how hard is going to be at the end if we cant have it.
Im asking Frontier, please, just put it again as a feature, at least answer us well and TRY to add it in some way or form. Thats why we are alpha testers, to find this non intended features that work really well so its a good idea to implement them at the end, or to find things that were intended, but then they didnt work as well as you thought.
It would be impossible for me to finish this nearly perfect recreation of the station of Superman La Atraccion de Acero with all the exact details I tried to add, like the manual pitched roofs, and wall decorations if I updated the game to 2.2:

I wonder how many of us have to complain about this before we actually get a response from frontier? It's clear that the ability to rotate all pieces on all axes gave us a whole lot of creative freedom that we were all highly enjoying. I haven't seen anyone complain of problems with the advanced rotation of these pieces so why has it been removed?
I watched all of the PC livestreams and I know the devs were super impressed with how the community had built certain things. So to take a very powerful feature away from us (even if it was a bug at first, although i was actually expecting it to work for all pieces because of the hype buildup) seems like an illogical thing to do.
If people want to use the pieces for their original intention then they still can. Those of us who want to spend hour after hour rotating things to the n'th degree to get things how we want, should be able to do so.
Come on Frontier devs, I ask you as a software engineer myself. Please, please, please, give us back advanced rotation as soon as possible.

Something else that is really, really annoying me is the lack of a button to move an entire building. You can 'advanced move' an entire building, but only if you select the 'move' feature first. Which immediately moves your building to wherever the mouse cursor is. So if something is placed and it isn't quite right, instead of just enabling 'advanced move' and tweaking, you have to start over from fresh. This is highly annoying. Take the below image as an example. The positioning of the building is slightly off, it needs to move slightly as the path is clipping through. I now have to 'move' the building so I can enable 'advanced move' and then spend minutes lining it up from scratch, instead of just being able to tweak it.
This gets highly annoying when you are trying to accomplish something like this:
