Trying to place a snow mine entrance visual resource using instance painter and the only way to change it's rotation seems to be to set it to random rotation and repeatedly place/erase it until it luckily, randomly is "close enough" to desired angle.

Holding down mouse button simply paints more of them, holding down any ctrl/alt/shift option keys does nothing, there is no way to pre-set desired angle, there is no way to select the instance painted.

I must be missing something, but I'm at a loss.

Edit: Oh, and the reason for using the instance painter is the "mine entrance" ITEM says "DONOTUSE"

Hey Eldarth,

the instance painter was designed for placing multiple random occurrences of certain items like grass/bushes/etc. For specific angles, you'll have to place it normally.

DONOTUSE is a warning that this item might not be fully functional or simply that it was not supposed to be used in our design. You can still place it normally. I would also suggest to place it normally since it will not have physics if placed with the instance painter and you'll need physics to click on it.

It's not a Root Template "item" it's a Visual Resource from the Resource Manager -- how do you place something from the Resource Manager "normally?" -- can I use Place Item for (some) Resources???

It's a VisualResource "MINE_Entrance_A_Snow <282d4389-df68-4fac-aeb7-c088d720df27>"

There are only 2 "mine entrances" that are root templates and both have "_DONOTUSE" appended.
That's what drove me to find the VisualResource.
