Is it just me or does the game automatically rotate lots back to face the road if you rotate them away then idle long enough? I don't believe I've run into this until now. Is it a global timer of some kind? Maybe the one that controls timed props?

Yes all ploppable items lock to the road, if you rotate them away, but move the mouse even the slightest, they lock back to the road again.

Head over to my Lot and Mod Shack to keep abreast of my latest developments.

Do you like custom textures, but don't like all the work involved creating them?, take a look at the Texture Automation options here. Change the look and feel of your transit networks, with the minimum of effort, for example customised versions of my Sidewalk NAM (SWN) and Terrain Grass NAM (TGN) mods, and much more besides.

New to the NAM? Check out my tutorials on YouTube. Latest upload: How to: RHW - MHO Roundabout Interchanges. (Nov 25).

p.s. - I'm MGB over on SC4D and a member of the NAM team.

That's the key. You need a steady hand to aim off-beam. If you're planning another road in the direction you want to face the building, then you might want to build the road first.
