How to Move and Rotate Objects and Buildings in LEGO Fortnite

Let’s say you finally got done building the house of your dreams in LEGO Fortnite, only to find that you’ve put it in the incorrect spot. Is there any way that you can pick up this building and move it somewhere else?

Can You Move Buildings Once They’ve Been Placed in LEGO Fortnite?

Unfortunately at this time, there is no way to pick up a building and place it somewhere else after you have started building it. However, if you do go through and build anything and need to move it, destroying it will give you all of your materials back so you can rebuild it somewhere else. While it may take some extra time to do it this way, you won’t need to worry about losing any materials by destroying a building.

So, since we need to ensure that we are placing a building, tool, or object in the perfect spot, knowing how to rotate an object to ensure it fits in with the rest of the scenery is rather important. Let’s find out how to swing buildings around so they always land in the perfect spot.

How To Rotate Buildings and Objects in LEGO Fortnite

If you’re looking to rotate an object while you’re building it, make sure you’re paying attention to the bottom half of your screen, depending on the platform that you’re playing on. In this example, I’m playing on PlayStation 5, so I would use the L1/R1 buttons to rotate the object that I’m looking to build. Once I know that I have it in the perfect spot, I can press the R2 button to start building this new building.

No matter if you’re building a Crafting Bench or a building, these build controls are going to be the same. Ensure that you’ve got it in the right spot, and get to work on building your ultimate creation. If not, you can get rid of some anger and smash your build to replace it somewhere else.

No matter if you’re hoping to jump into a Sandbox mode, or you’re ready to survive the wilds with everything it can throw at you, LEGO Fortnite is a surprisingly fun take on the survival genre. There are plenty of things you can do within this world, so make sure you’re checking out our section below to become the ultimate survival master.
