Missing advanced rotation on storage crates

Hi there, last week, I placed storage crates in the floor with the labels facing up. Today, there is no advanced rotation option on storage crates. I don't see anything in change logs.

Does anyone know if this change was intentional? Or is the missing rotation a bug?

That is odd. People have been asking for advanced rotation for crates for all of experimental.  Strange that it worked for you at all.  Of course, I never tried it myself, so am just going off what others said. 

Adding advanced rotation should be a simple XML mod, though.

 
That is interesting that you were able to do that. As Riamus indicated, it's an easy mod, just changing AllowedRotation from Basic90 to All. I still have a copy of build 309 and it's Basic90 in that version. You didn't get a b306 copy by chance?

Anyway,  I wonder if there is some reason they don't have advanced rotation. I was able to place a crate with adv rotation and write on it and it seemed fine.

I would guess that it is just because they think it looks better in normal placement and/or the person who set that doesn't put three crates into floor or ceiling and didn't consider that.  Except in that situation, any other rotation wouldn't look right because it would make the letters rotated in off ways.

True, yes - thank you.

 
There are quite a number of bugs that happen with 45 degree rotations for full blocks like those, besides it being ugly, so indeed it's intentional they aren't allowed to rotate this way.

Isn't there a rotate option that doesn't have 45 degrees?  The regular blocks with advanced rotation don't do 45 degrees.  Couldn't that be used instead of the "All" rotation option that has 45 degrees?
