By turning the block.

The red dots indicate the surface modification. But that's only possible on one side.

How do you turn the block?

I've run out of possibilities.

Make sure to disable the surface edit mode first, then you can use your arrow keys (and page up/down) to rotate the block around the X, Y and Z axes

I turned off surface edit mode - arrow and up/down keys only move the element.

When the element is upside down and I turn on the surface edit mode - the red dots are where I left off - the bottom.

no change.

Yes ATM that is how it works, so at a guess that may change and we may get to edit any side oO

Having to edit 6 sides would be great!

i agree with wara red51

I think you need to read up a bit about the basic controls

ctrl key + arrow keys / Pgup/PgDn = rotating the block

shift key + arrow keys / PgUp/PgDn = resizing the block

Return-Key = turn docking mode on/off

Hit ctrl key once = hold the block in place without having to keep holding any button

he is talking about edit one side mode moving to another side, it does not matter what way you spin the block it only gives you the same side to edit, well that's how its been working for me too

thats not how i understood it. He asked how to get the red dots on another side. I answered him that he can do that only on one side but he can rotate the block to have the alternative shape on another side. He said he doesn´t know how to turn the block and that was my answer.

But maybe i really understood it wrong

its all confusing but im thinking he is asking to edit the other side with the red dots lets say the side with the dots is side A you finish editing side A and now want to do side B, well no matter what you do if you spin the object or move around it the red dots stay on side A even if you turn off the side edit tool then spin the object then turn on the side edit tool the dots are still on side A but now side A is moved the dots never move to another side, ive tried to do this too and on his post

^^^^^ it became more clear thats what hes trying todo

Yea, would be nice to be able to do this. HOwever there IS a solution...

Just edit 6 blocks, each with 1 side, and then rotate each block and move it inside the previous one. that way you have the look of 1 block with 6 different sides - if that is what is required.

with the blueprints its even possible to resize them (with some limitation)

That sounds interesting but will that cause the world to implode or maybe send us all into a parallel dimension

A parallel dimension in RW would be awesome
