You mean you can only place your building in one direction?

Classify the building as a unit, place it, rotate it, then classify it as a building.

How to classify it?? I'm makes more than 20 maps but I still don't understand that....

Classify the building as a unit, place it, rotate it, then classify it as a building.

Never tried that, but it is cool idea to trick the editor

Rotating Buildings

To rotate buildings placed on the map in WE one must use the Object Editor to edit the building itself.

1. Open Object Editor and select the building type you wish to rotate.
2. Select the field Stats - Is A Building change this field value to: False
3. Select the building in the main WE screen and rotate it using the "/" and "*" keys on your keyboard's number pad.
4. Reset the field value Stats - Is A Building to: True.

This method will allow rotation of buildings placed in WE. To rotate building constructed during the game, a trigger would be needed (IF it's even possible.)

Note: you must rotate all buildings of the same type at the same time. Changing the field value for "Stats - Is A Building" may cause previously rotated buildings to regain their default rotation.

Root

When a building has a form of the "Root" ability its facing angle can be changed. Just add a version of the "Root" ability to every building you want to be able to rotate and disable the ability it on map initialization.

If you can't get it to work, I'll create you a template map.

PS: Changing the "Is a Building" function causes massive lag, at least for me, and if I don't want a unit to be a building I don't base it off of one.
