Re: Cannot Pickup or Rotate Columns

@crinrict it does happen on a fresh save... I will try the repair in the morning. I can barely keep my eyes open right now. Thank you for your quick response. I will get back with you.

    @ITGreen  Columns can only be rotated at 90 degrees now, and it's difficult to tell they're rotating at all unless the style of the column has a pattern and you look closely.  Check out the grain in the wood in this screenshot (in the red boxes):

    You can use the Move button (in yellow) to move the columns, although I guess they can't be directly picked up anymore either.  And they will snap to a 45-degree angle if placed against a diagonal wall, as with the rightmost column above.  But if that column gets moved elsewhere, it returns to its original orientation.

    @puzzlezaddict Ok guys, so I did a repair and nothing changed. If they are only rotating at 90 degree angles then I would not be able to tell (that's kind of silly because then what is the point). I digress... As far as the other problem, moving the columns. I still cannot pick them up and move them or drag them to delete them, but I took @puzzlezaddict suggestion and I can move them with the move arrow. Does anyone know if this is just a gliche that will be fixed or is there a reason they took the 45 degree option away?

    Thanks everyone for your assistance. I have been stumped for a few days.

    @ITGreen  The point of looking at a column with grains in the wood, as I did in my earlier screenshot, is that you can see that the rotate function is in fact working.  I agree, it's pretty much pointless if it only rotates at 90º, but it's not like the columns can't be rotated at all.  I have no idea if this was by design, but the game did get the added function of adjustable column heights in the last patch.  It's almost certainly related.
