How do I rotate doodads to make them look nice?

[Fallen_Warlord]

building custom model walls and city building crap, But I don't know how to rotate them to an angel I think looks nice, How do I rotate doodads?

 

[Rheiko]

click on that doodad, hold CTRL button and move your mouse to the desired direction

If it still doesn't turn, then find the doodad you want to turn in Object Editor and look for the field: "Art - Fixed Rotation" - if that field has value 0 or higher, it has a fixed rotation (= can't turn it). To get free rotation, set the value to -1. Then you can do what Rheiko wrote.

In the object editor, make a custom version of the doodad that you want and set the fields:
Art - Max Roll Angle (degrees)
Art - Maximum Pitch Angle (degrees)
to values between 0 and -6.28.
