Just a question

I have tried all day to use the search function, but I keep getting the Liam page saying the site is undergoing maintenance so I need to ask.
When you draw your lot, a little yellow sphere appears in one of the corners. Does it matter what corner it ends up concerning the direction of the front of the lot? Is the sphere just to have a place to use the move and rotate tool or does it have another function? I have tried to draw a lot starting in all 4 corners and the sphere always ends up in the back left corner of the lot. I do not want that to be registered as the front so I was worried that I could not get the sphere to appear in the front. Any informmation would be welcome as I could not find any reference to it in the tutorial stickies at the top of the forum.
thank you

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.

It designates the corner of the lot the ingame pic will be from when you put the lot in your bin, or upload. If the lot is completely flat, I will rotate the lot so it is on the road side of the lot. Depending on your grid, it only shows up on two of the four sides, depending where you start the first line of your lot. I just play with it till I get to know in each world I'm working on where it will end up if I start at a certain point. So, on one side of the road I have them all set down so it's on the road, the other side I have to rotate. Did that make any sense?
Of coarse you don't have to do it at all, it's kind of and OCD thing I think. LOL

Thank you sooooo much. I have searched every post and stickie I thought might have the answer to no avail! The lot I am trying to place is not on grid and is set back from a curved part of a back road and I was afraid the lot entrance would not be where I wanted it.
Thank You again so much

You should ask sooner, if you can't find it in the Faq. The EA search function is so undependable, I barely use it anymore.

I try never to ask until I have searched. I started using CAW way back when it first came out. I searched almost everything I had a question for. Usually it was not a problem to find answers. Also I did not want Regina to call me lazy!!!!

I ended up giving up on the forum search here because there are way too many irrelevant results and I don't think the whole forum gets searched anyway. I only use Google if I absolutely have to but I use Good Search with good results most of the time.
Even so, this seems like a pretty obscure question. Has anyone even asked it before? I'm glad you did, though, because I've always wondered what those knobs were for and now I know!
I have noticed you here a little more often of late! So glad!
And no you are NOT bad!! I remember seeing you answer the same question 10 times and it would be something that was very easy to find if some one had just bothered to look. Actually it use to make me laugh! I loved it!
This forum/site is such an absolute joke sometimes. There is always one part or another that is not working right. It is never completely functionable!! So annoying!
Hope things are well for you!!
