Can you give us the ability to use the Fill and Clear blocks commands in Survival games?

While using the volume tools, It seems really strange to me that the fill and clear commands are only available in the World Editor and not in a survival game when using creative mode. My arm is killing me from all of the clicking required to fill a volume with the Randomly fill button! It's like the devs just want to punish us for using creative mode. lol

Also, would be fantastic if you could figure out a way to specify the shape of a block, rather than only being able to use the default cube since it has to be in your hotbar. And block rotation too, because most of the blocks (like bars) can only be used East and West with the correct rotation. The rotate selection doesn't work well because it deletes giant swathes of your base accidentally.

I don't understand. Are you really talking about the game? You can specify the shape of a block. You just have to equip the shape and klick on the right mouse button for 2 seconds to access the shape menue. Then select the shape you want and from then on you will see that shape in your hand and will place that shape.

Again, game or world editor? In the game the same shape menue lets you select enhanced rotation and get all rotations. And it doesn't delete your base, at least I don't have any problems with base deletion unless I disregard structural integrity

My apologies, I failed to specify while using the Volume tools. In the game, not in the world editor. While in creative mode, the ability to fill and clear volumes is greyed out, and block shape and rotation cannot be specified because you have to place the block equipped in your hot bar, which just uses the default shape (cube) and rotation.  Rotating the selected blocks within the volume is when it deletes portions that the rotation ends up intersecting with.
