You are welcome to add your support to this thread that I did a long while ago:
I still believe a simple tool allowing a person to rotate through all combinations (not ideal) is way better than what we have now. I am against pitch-forks but if some people want to threaten that to get this feature added I could look the other way. @James @lucadeltodecso can we look at some simple development around this. Anything to help a person not spend hours trying to look the right way and place the right way to get the pattern they want. At least a tool allowing us to rotate (maybe like Space Engineers does or like I talk about in my original post above) would be a win.
