You don't need to anymore. After you place an item, go to move it and hold down the ALT key. You'll find that you can rotate it to almost any angle you want. It doesn't work while placing the item initially - they had to disable it because it caused some bugs.
Items spinning freely...the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Thank you, Codewalker!
Also, after placing an item you can then select it, hold down 'Shift' you can move it up and down.
Holding down 'Ctrl' will allow you to move it on the same plane.

Could someone explain what the affect the objects' blue bounding box has now? When playing with the rotate/move, I saw that I could 'scale' the object select box. Was kinda hoping it was going to scale an item, but so far I dont see that it does anything.

It's just a weird bug I think, that the bounding box distorts when rotating objects.|

You can abuse it to get rotated objects partly into doorways / embedded in outer walls, but otherwise it's harmless.

I tend to avoid anything that does that, as it could break you base irrevocably.

And some video with my atrocious narrative.
Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

this wasn't a game killer until you relocated the entrance to your base.
Once that was done it was very easy to misplace your entrance portal outside of your construction zone, could not be fixed.
the result would be, someone loads into your base, and would fall...
forever...
and ever...
amen....
Ignoring anyone is a mistake. You might miss something viral to your cause.

NCSoft, Please reconsider your decision to close down CoH. It has an extremely loyal following and enjoys a great amount of free support from the larger community.

What can we use to turn an item something other than 90deg? I thought it was a wall sconce but am having no luck at all. Is there a guide/sticky/step-by-step somewhere that shows how its done? And with what item to use as an anchor?
