How do you rotate the floor tiles?

I noticed several tiles that are obviously meant to be rotated to make designs in the floors but I can't figure out how to rotate them...Any one know?

  • I once had no idea I could even rotate the tiles!

    But yes, it is the < & > Keys ( , & . )
  • Hi! I had trouble with this too, seeing as the < and > keys (aka the , and . keys) would rotate this screen and not change the floor tile.

    Chances are you might be using a mouse if this is happening to you. If thats the case, with the flooring you want to place selected and while hovering over the floor you want to change, just click the scroll wheel on your mouse and the floor tile will rotate!

    If you're not using a mouse and still having trouble, I'm sorry I couldn't have been of more help.
  • SO! For those of you that can't make it work, all you need to do is select single tile placement, press and hold CTRL and then press one of the < > keys and click and drag to place. I couldn't get it to work on the entire floor placement, only single tile placement with drag. Hope this helps!!
  • If people are still looking for this, as the person above said, I believe you can't rotate the tiles with full floor placement (at least not using the same keys), but I didn't have to hold CTRL just used the < > (, .) keys with a single tile placement and it should work (as said, you can then drag it to fill the space as normal)
  • My keyboard is a Danish one, I do not have a "and" nor a "or" key on it.
    The "&" button doesn't work either. So how do I turn the damn tiles?
