First of all a Happy New Year to all and a big thanks to the simutrans programmers and graphic artists for all of their hard work!

I have a question that I am sure I read the answer to some time ago already but I cannot find it anywhere any more.

Basically when I build a platform along a railway track for instance it ends up at the wrong side of the track from time to time.

Also station extension buildings do not align correctly to make them look like one row for instance.

Is there a key combination with which I can influence the building rotation when building?

The result differs if you build the back row first and then the front row  or build front first, then back row.

You can choose the orientation of extension buildings: ctrl-click on the icon in the toolbar.
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and maggikraut.

I know that. But sometimes I have to destroy the station multiple times, delete roads and other city buildings before it aligns how I would like :(

Thanks for the other hint :)
