Description:
The video shows that I can turn artisan’s houses in any direction (It works the same way with farmers and workers). However, if the engineer or investor buildings are in a block, I can’t rotate them. It cannot be rotate by either 90 or 180 degrees, even though the back of the building is often prettier and I want it to face the street front.

Hey there folks!

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you on this thread.

I believe that this is likely to be working as intended but I have raised the question with the Anno 1800 team and will get back to the thread as soon as I know more. Thanks!

Hey guys!

Just an update since the team responded - yes this is working as intended.

In this instance; starting on Engineer level, the houses are connected to each other, so they always place the 'most fitting model'.

We're more than happy to pass your feedback regarding making Auto Snapping a setting onto the team @SirHarryPierce .

Thanks guys!

@queglar Hey there!

Thanks for taking the time to write out a detailed description of what's happening when trying to rotate using the 'relocate' cursor. Hopefully this will be helpful information for anyone wanting to know more about changing investor and engineer buildings.

If anyone happens to have any further comments or feedback on this topic, please let us know!
