•10/2/14 Rotate landscaping with structure (requested by hmsdrco2001)

I had read somewhere that you could do this by holding down SHIFT and find that it is true, but it seems very glitchy. When I was experimenting with it, it seemed that if you rotated the lot multiple times in succession, it would delete the landscaping items. If you rotated once, deselected the tool, then selected it again and the lot with SHIFT, it would rotate properly. Also, a couple of times when I was rotating, the tool seemed to go into move mode instead, repositioning the structure to another area of the lot. If you have a little bit of time to test this and let me know if you are getting the same or different results, I'd appreciate it. For my test, I used a 30x20 lot and built a small structure (something like 5x5) and then placed a few trees close by. Don't forget to move the mailbox close to the structure as well!

I did more testing on this, and what I've discovered is that the process seems to work well as long as you shift-click the lot prior to each movement or rotation that you attempt. Also, you need to make sure that you move the mailbox (and any other objects on the outskirts) more to the interior of the lot, or you will get errors. Rotation is going to be tough on the uneven sized lots if you have got landscaping drawn out beyond the length of the shorter portion of the lot.
