DT_PLACE_COMPONENT
Place one component block with live click-to-place controls.
Places one component block with a live preview that follows your cursor and automatically rotates to align with nearby walls. While placing, type the highlighted keyboard options to adjust: R rotates 90°, F flips 180°, N skips the auto-rotation, T resets, D switches to dashed edges. Press Escape to cancel.
When to use it
This is what the Components palette runs when you pick a block — you'll rarely type it yourself, but the keyboard options above apply whenever you're placing.
Common problems
| Message | What to do |
|---|---|
Cannot place '{block}': {reason} | That block isn't available in this drawing — the message says why (for example, the source block is missing from the template). Pick a different component or check with your admin. |
