    One arrow to rotate for each axis. Would make getting blocks aligned go so much fast than the current system where you have to cycle all optiions.

    has an idea down there. You would want both directions on each axis so that way you don\'t have to click three times instead of one.

    true :)



    But maybe it would be easier, if you have a auto-chooser which selects Block/Wedge/Corner/Tetra/Penta and facing to match the neighbour blocks if possible.

    I really don\'t want that. It might be a design choice to not align things...

    I am fine with the current, as long as you consistently can align the biggest side with each forth step and the second biggest with the 4 steps following each other.

    But I miss the possiblity to have an arrow and preview, as some blocks are sometimes hard to guess which side is the front (cockpid, docking, etc)

    The front usually glows red in the little preview window. I can\'t remember if it\'s true for cockpits, but it is true for docking blocks.
