How to rotate/angle construction pieces?

Recommended Posts

 How do you go about rotating walls, ceiling pieces etc?

 I've seen ceiling pieces places on the vertical, walls, doors etc placed at a 45 degree angle to the ground...    but I have no clue
 how to go about doing this...     I've heard 'Q' before placing, regardless of what I try, I've been limited to the snap grid.

IDK what you mean by vertical ceiling (isn't that a wall?) but wall at 45 degrees is a ramp - make roof and press T to cycle. Same with 45 degree doors (does not work with thatch).

Q selects snap point, T changes "type". Wall can be a wall, doorway, window, fence, etc. Roof can be roof, stairs, roof door, ramp, etc. Experiment.

Wood has more options than thatch but once you can build wood, you get all wood options. There's no skill that would give you more options for wood. Make one piece of wood floor, wall, ceiling and roof and cycle through the options with T for each piece .

Don't know about stone and if it has any more options.

   there's a local structure utilizing wooden ramps... which I don't see in any of my current options.

It's a roof doorway with door placed in. Both wood.

     I was not seeing these as options when placing the Wood roof... hence ^.

  Apparently my work schedule is finally biting me in the arse.
