Layers and free rotating

[Elder]

Hello,
thanks for letting me in. i have 2 Questions


1) Is it posssible to add a tool for free rotating?
Issue here ist the bridges, whenever i add bridges they never fit, because they cant be adjusted properly to the way the road/river moves. unless ive missed how to do that?

2)how can i group Trees?
Properly a silly question but on forming a forest, i ended ab with like hundred features. Thats ok, as long as im working on the map, but wenn done with it, it would be nice to grab all the trees make one feature call it forest and have only that show under the feaures list.

Sorry for this long text, i like your tool a lot
Thank you

Welcome to OWM and the forums!

If I'm understanding correctly, when you have an item selected with the transform tool you can rotate freely by using the rotate handle (the gear icon).

2)how can i group Trees?

You can combine them using the "Colligate" option. For instance, you can select a large group of trees and colligate them into the "Great Forest" which will show up as a single item in the layer's window (and improve performance since OWM won't have to deal with them as single features).
You can restore then to be individual layers using the "uncolligate" option.

Let us know if you have any other questions!
