Add orientation indicator when placing object

[ricky]

Similiar to how roads have an arrow that point to where you will walk, placed objects such as chairs (especially benches and stools), cauldrons, querns - objects with visually ambiguous orientation - should have a marker or arrow that tell you which way is 'front'. This would greatly help placing objects.

Right click on whatever youre holding and it shows an object preview for where youre going to place it.

Also, when you just set things down, they always face the way you are facing, as in they point away from you

ricky is specifically talking about objects like cauldrons, and benches, which don't have an obvious orientation until you use them.

can anyone think of a reason this shouldn't be added?

Which, for quite some objects, is the wrong way. Should be fixed so they are oriented in the right direction in the first place.

Quite an old suggestion though.
