I am a interior designer and i was trying to place all the furniture i could make so people could see what they wanted. When i placed the tan circular couch i could not target it to move and position it. I have tried every command i could think of. If this has happened to any one and you know a way to fix it or traget it let me know .

Thanks

Had this problem too. And what's even weirder is that some days I can target it, some days not.

This happend to me as well. I could not traget it but my friends could. I put in a CSR ticket and they helped me out. The csr guy was cool about it all.

Well, I can offer a 'semi-definitive' answer in that they are intermittently bugged!

I made and dropped two today and was able to bring up the radial and reposition without problem.

However, when I sold the same two couches to a customer, they reported the missing radial problem highlighted above. I suggested all the usual immediate tricks such as relogging, manualmovement commands and even waiting for a server roboot, etc. but when I logged off the problem was still there.

Inbetween making those two couches and logging, I made a third for a customer who had pre-ordered and was very eager to have one. A lengthy series of emails went back and forth between us as I explained the problem for first buyer had had. I also suggested he check this forum to see if it was a known bug.

However, he was keen to own one despite my best efforts to get him to wait until I'd checked the forums too. I sold and he placed - and he is having no problems with positioning, picking up and dropping.

I'm now waiting for customer A to get back to me if he still has a problem.

Personally, like the non-lighting "table-top" lamps, I'm very inclined to not make any more of these until the issue is addressed, because nothing hacks off a customer more than a non-working item - especially if its 8ft long, tan coloured and stuck slap-bang in the middle of their home

I have this problem with tan couches and alcohol (not kidding).

Turns out, my account is gimp lol. I got a buddy who can target curvy couches np, so I gave him my acct/pass and asked him to log on and remove the couch.

He gets on my account and can't touch it. He get's back on his account and can suddenly target it again.

My account is gimp lol.

I sent a request to the CSR now I can target it.

I am not making any until they fix this bug. Not holding my breath for that to happen either.

Well a csr answered me and told me alot of people have this problem and they are aware of it. He also said some poeple have a hard time with the lare bed. I already took care of my nontarget couch.

This is the work around i found. Find some one who you trust that can target the couch and have spare lots to take possession of your home for a min or 2. Let them target the couch transfer the building then get them to pick it up move or do what ever you want with it. then transfer the structure back to your self.

I had this problem also but found a work around:

what ever the couch was named (whether it was standard name or something extra you put on it) you need to type:

/pickup (couchname)

eg: my couch was called:

comfy couch - SDC Corp

to pick it up i had to type

/pick comfy couch - SDC Corp

Some other tips for you (need to have furny selected, tryed a few variation on the biege couch to rotate it but no luck)

/rotateFurniture LEFT/RIGHT (Degrees)

eg /rotateFurniture LEFT 45

/move BACK/FORWARD (#)

eg /move FORWARD 20

I also noticed .. with the above command when moving things forward or backwards .. which ever way your facing (first person view helps) will push the item away from you.

eg if you were facing north and the item was directly in front of you you would push it directly north , if you went at a slight angle and pushed it, it would then push in the direction your facing, pushing the item at an angle.

Personally i have them all on macros and attached to the hotbar , makes moving things around much simpler.

The first one I made I dropped and was unable to use it at all after that.. until the servers bounced the next morning and I was able to move it and use it.. I get occasional complaints from customers waiting in my house to get something that they cant sit in it..

BTW, How exactly is everyone getting CSR's to respond to tickets? I placed a large house and the door went under a hill and made the structure worthless.. This is a severe blow to any architect, and you can imagine how much it set me back! I placed a ticket and it took over 40 hours of gameplay, 2 conversations on the phone to boot, just to get a CSR to look at it and say they would pass it on to programming as they cant do anything, then it finally fell apart and I have my lots back. I have not heard anything yet regarding compensation. On top of that, the website says they are open saturdays and sundays.. Sunday morning I called to get a message that someone would be available after 3:30 pst, although the website said like 10am to 5 pm.. I call back after 3:30 and still no-one there.. Then I find out monday that your ticket gets reset and kicked to the back of the line every time you get booted by opening a harvester.. so I was expected to stand there at the dead house with my thumb in my butt and move around just enough to not time out and drop and not do anything like play the game that may make me drop, for enough hours that a CSR can get to me.. I had at least 2 sessions where I didnt drop or crash for over 6 hours and still nothing.. took 4 days to get a CSR in game, and 2 phone calls where they told me they would flag my ticket as high priority.. The only thing higher priority for in-game response that I can see is getting stuck or losing a PA hall the same way.. there is not a single thing short of a PA hall (maybe a fusion generator, but you get my drift) that has more resource and/or credit value than a Large House in this game.. Yet you guys are talking about getting a CSR to come rescue your COUCH!!???

This ranks right up there with a melon nerf before houses even work.. *sigh*
