Rotate Signals and Poles to Any Angle

Free Rotation Placement

Create Realistic Railways signals and poles support full 360-degree rotation, allowing them to face any direction on your track.

Steps:

1. Hold the signal or pole in your hand

2. Right-click to place it on a block

3. While holding the block (before placing), use your mouse or rotation keys to adjust the angle freely

4. Place when satisfied with the orientation

Snapping to 45-Degree Angles

For precise, aligned placement:

1. Hold the signal or pole

2. Hold Shift while right-clicking to place

3. The block will snap to the nearest 45-degree angle increment

4. This ensures signals align neatly with curved or diagonal track layouts

Use case: Shift-placement is ideal for curved railway sections where you want signals to follow the track's angle exactly, creating a professional, organized appearance.

Tip: Experiment with placement before committing—you can break and replace blocks freely to find the perfect angle for your layout.
